Someone 'in the know' on here mentioned that the MKIV doesn't ship with the new sound board, sadly.

My only worry with the BV7-40 MKIV is the ambiguous DTS HD 7.1 is down-converted to 5.1, on the B&O website. Does that mean that DTS HD 7.1 is downgraded to DTS HD 5.1 or basic Dolby Digital 5.1? If the latter, then it makes a Blu-ray (with uncompressed HD audio) play like a standard definition disc and would make it more poorly performing than my two-year-old Playstation 3. That wouldn't be acceptable. It needs to outperform the old PS3, at least.

I've asked B&O and am waiting on an answer.
