Hehe - exactly :-). Also note: Some AVRs do special things when they receive DTS / DTS-HD - e.g. boosting something, a sound some people like. But it's most likely the light that people love.
It's the same insane thing like buying a DAC - that only does 16 bit and max 48 khz - as I needed to teach someone that had a 3000 dollar DAC running on android and everything was downsampled to audiotrack's system samplerate.
With recorded PVR stuff, I get audio skips, which are worst with sync on and passthrough off, and best with sync off and passthrough on
also, as long as those DACS are branded as NOS or "analog in sound" and is expensive enough, people will be idiots and buy them.
