Try ripping the DVD-V portion of your DVDA discs (see the wiki). They are usually in DTS. You might be amazed how good they sound. I find doing this sounds way better than mixing down. You have the same bandwidth in either case (2 channels of 48khz). But with DTS you are adding compression (and doubling your bandwidth) and it is dynamically adjusting which channels should get the bandwidth. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55987 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
