David, When you say Cube inside, are you indicating that Samsung (and the others) are using Cube chips for their products? Do you have a list of DVD manufacturers that are using Cube? Any ideas on the emerging aliances related to DVD's in '98?

You might quarrel with Samsung's logic of offering a built-in Dolby Digital decoder in a DVD player, since you may get better sound, especially in the bass, by sending the digital output to an amplifier/receiver oufitted with its own decoder and bass management circuits. The author probably lifted this out of the Stereo Review article I posted snippets of. You still need a "Dolby Digital-ready" receiver to take advantage of the decoded signal. My aging stereo receiver just won't do.
