Blu ray upgrade?


Consider me confused. All the new formats make my head spin. Haven't been keeping up so have questions.

Current receiver (Denon 2802) does not decode new formats but does have 5.1 analog inputs. If I buy a BR player (Oppo 93) with 7.1 analog output will I hear a significant difference with Blu Ray movies/concerts in sound quality from my current 5.1DD? What differences should I expect.
Thanks

My Oppo 95 manual (it has 7.1 analog outputs too) says if you have a 5.1 receiver do not connect the SBL or SBR which stands for surround back left and right.

I'm not familiar with multichannel sound quality but the Oppo 93 is supposed to be really good for its price so you should hear some improvement. Crutchfield was offering a 60 day trial period last time I checked so you can judge for yourself.

What kind of player are you using now? Maybe someone can give you a more definitive answer.
