The simplest has to be the EAD smart cable. As I understand, demodulation is built right into the cable so, AC-3 direct to coax with no box. Of course they are as rare and reasonably expensive. I saw one on eBay 2-3 months ago, and should have pulled the trigger on it. Hopefully someone here picked it up. That being said, I agree the Sony E800 is a solid unit and easy to set up. It is fairly common, and is inexpensive.

It has been a few years since I hooked mine up (kinda on semi-permanent loan to my Father), but my recollection is that the MD/DAT digital out is always active. By comparison I am currently using my STR-DA80ES as my processor. My setup is more complex, but basically functions the same. AC-3 in from LD, while selecting the Digital 1 for input, and use MD/DAT optical out to my processor.
