You may actually be hearing HD-audio already, but not properly ID'd due to licensing requirements.

Could you kindly try optical connection with that 42GB file?  Thanks!

hopefully, thats the case.  ;D i do have a 7Gb file of the same movie, Imax version, DTS. i noticed na mas buo ung audio ng 42GB file( sorry, the correct audio term escapes me.hehe).  am currently acquiring the 28GB Harry Potter 6, Dolby TrueHD ung audio nito.patience muna, 1day n 2hrs pa ung estimate eh..hehehe.once its completed, will check with the AVR's display if the "Dolby TrueHD" comes out. ;)

wala pa akong optical cable.. sorry.. :(

the Xtreamer audio and video quality is comparable to that of TVIX, which should be a very good yardstick to measure quality ... i haven't tested WDTV though
Marantz NR1200, MartinLogan Motion 20 digital audio setup, and Sony A80J

I tried a m2ts file encoded in  dolby trueHD. The xtreamer doesn't pass through 5.1 channel PCM.. only 2 channel PCM on firmware 2.0.2
