Not sure what forum this should go in, as it's such an obscure problem?
But here goes...
...I broke the memory stick I had all my streamed surround files on, as well as the files I was using to try and troubleshoot the compatibility issues with the the quadro-surround.de discs and the UBP-X800 ...I dragged my chair forward, hitting the USB stick and literally broke the connector off of the USB's memory chips. I was lucky not to destroy the USB plug on my disc player.
So...I ended up buying a Panasonic DV-575A (recommended by the guys at quadro-surround.de for playback of their discs) only to find that my receiver doesn't have inputs for separate 5.1 RCA plugs (I hadn't looked that closely at the sockets on the rear; I just knew it had a ton of them and assumed I'd be okay.)
Advice from quadro-surround.de is to play them via a hookup composed of discrete 5.1 RCA connections, which my receiver just isn't equipped for.
I'd still like to listen to my quadro-surround.de quad-channel Ogre DVD-A's, but I can't play the discs on my UBP-X800, and all I can get from the digital connection with the Panasonic DV-575A is virtual surround.
I'm basically about to throw my hands in the air and just walk away from independently authored DVD-A and am wondering what advice people might have?
Is there a cheap legacy receiver I might be able to pick up on eBay that has sockets for discrete 5.1 RCA plugs...?...or maybe a slightly older player that might do the trick (and which doesn't cost the earth)...or, is it time to just let go and find some kind of other option?
Also, can I expect a better quality of sound from the DV-575A, over the discrete RCA connectors than through the digital connection...?...or would it just be the same?
Advice would be appreciated as I'm just not having much luck with this.
