Wharfdale M5, any good for DTS and DD 5.1?

[Rizel23]

I thinking of buying this player instead of a AMP as then i could have two DVD\VCD Players as i have a Philips 711 alreadt but want DTS and Dolby Digital Sound really.

I have the 6 phone inputs on my Hi-Fi Already so would be easy to set up than a Stand A Lone Amp.

What i really would like to know is is the DTS and Dolby Digital Sound as good as it would be with a Stand A Lone Decoder\AMP?

Also if there problems at all with DVD Play back?

Its seems a very good buy at 150 quid with DD DTS and MP3 play back, if fact it seems to good!

I have read about only getting serial numers from 127xxxx onwards, so i take it all the earlyer problems are solved?

Many Thanks, Sam

I answered your question over at DVD Reviewer for you.

For the benefit of other interested parties, one of the Area 450 team did a great article about testing out the M5's decoders here (http://www.area450.co.uk/testing_the_decoder.htm)

Just like to say this is a great player, the DTS is amazing and DD 5.1 is aslo very good. MP3 playback is great and the picture is on par with my Sony, the best 150 quid i've spent for ages. Cheers, Rizel
