Sorry for not replying earlier. I missed your post on this busy list...

What I did, was that I downloaded a WAV encoded DTS file from
http://www.sr.se/multikanal/english/e_index.stm
(I did not rip a CD)

When sending the original WAV file through Squeezebox to my Home Theater
receiver I only heard noise.

I then modified the WAV file by reading it into Matlab, inverting the signs,
and writing to a new file.
This sign-inverted file played back correctly.
