Digital question...

For audio out, my Panasonic TC-P65VT30 only provides for digital out; and, I want connect to one of the analog inputs on my integrated amp.

I tried the Gefen decoder and was not at all satisfied with the sound.

Would it be possible for me to use the Musical Fidelity V-Dac or the Cambridge Dac Magic as a decoder/converter to solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

Yes to both.

any DAC with a digital input type that matches the digital output type on the Panasonic will work (assuming the analog output type of the DAC matches an analog input type on the integrated amp that is)

The requirement is to make sure that the Panasonic TC-P65VT30 outputs stereo PCM only! TV's and disc players can output various flavors of Dolby and dts and no standard audiophile DAC can handle these.

Kr4 has a great point here, you might be better served buying a discounted AVR, like a Yamaha, and using its DACs to decode the 5.1 signals, using it to mix-down to 2-channel, and then going out to your integrated for amp/pre. Lots of prime time shows are broadcast in 5.1, football games too.
