Is this the version with the dts master audio upgrade ?Pioneer should be ashamed of themselves for not incl. it on an elite product costing close to 1000 bones.

Ver. 1.21 is available and is a complete waste of time. There is no DTS Master Audio up grade for analog outputs. Shame on you Pioneer for leading us along for so long waiting for the holy grail. I have had enough of waiting, my player is going back to trade in for the cheaper and better panny 55.

Updated firmware to 1.25a and there is still no DTS HD Master decoding! Good thing I'm running
bitstream. But they have significantly reduced the popping noise I used to get when skipping chapters.
Other than that nothing spectacular.

So let me ask you, if you have a high end DTS decoding receiver, why does it matter if the player decodes it instead of the recvr.?

I have a high-end DTS decoding receiver, but it doesn't have DTS HD MA codecs software on it. I too am astounded that another firmware is released without this included with the upgrade. Like Stevo, I'm so upset with Pioneer that each passing firmware upgrade that goes by I'm ready to blow a gasket!

To pay this much money for a BD Player and have it not include DTS MS MA is beyond comprehension.

Pioneer, forget these minor bugs and get DTS HD MA on the next upgrade!!!

Why is the Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD not listed

I think that the fact that anyone would spend the money on the BDP-05 would basically state that
yeah.... "I have a bad ass receiver." Therefore, you shouldn't need DTS-MA software on your bluray
player because of the later statement. Thanks Pioneer for not wasting my well spent money on coding
software I don't need and spending more time invested in a very high quality video processor.
