Yes, DD, DTS, that is what I was thinking could be used, but was unsure how, nice to know it can be done, but it did not occur to me that one would loose some sound quality in doing so.
Yes, I was wondering if a digital crossover could be implemented in slimserver some how. I read that a nice digital crossover can be achieved with a pc and sound card, outputting the highs mids and lows for stereo, but don't want a pc in the lounge. I'm quite happy with my processor/dac so don't really want to pay out for any more DA converters either. And, did not really want any more boxes, or additional stuff in the ananlgue path. Fussy, I know! ;-) It just seemed the simplest solution to have software do the filtering and SB transport it to my processor.. So maybe the best solution if quality would be lost using the SB with pcm, is to have an analogue active crossover.. I don't quite get the lossy thing with DD/DTS, if the same amount of information is there for stereo, 2 channels, why would information be lost if it were just split in to 4 channels rather than 2? Is it the processor/decoding that can't handle the information split 4 ways or the pcm signal?
