Will the HD-DVD player or Xbox 360 ever be able to take DTS HD or Dolby Digital Plus via Update on Xbox Live?

Right now everything is transcoded to standard Dolby Digital and sent to the optical port. In order to listen to anything higher the box would need either a 5.1 or 7.1 analog audio output and do the decoding internally, or an HDMI output to send to a supporting A/V reciever. We will never see a multi-channel analog output but I suspect we will see HDMI in the future. It looks like MS is working on a DTS encoder though so in the future it might be able to transcode the newer codecs into full bitrate DTS (1.5Mbps and opposed to 640Kbps in DD) like the Toshiba players do.

that would be illlllll. I'm sure that cable would cost an arm or a leg though, since it has an encoder on it.
