Thanks, I did manage to downmix some DVDAs to stereo and they sound stunng good on the Transporter. If the DTS portion sounds better I would love to try it. But if I could ask a few more questions: 1. I could not find anyt reference of DVD in the Slim wiki. Are you referring to the Slim wiki? 2. Many of my DVD-A discs do not seem to have a DVD-V portion. Is it only for 2 sided discs? Or does every DVD-A disc have a sccret DVD-V portion? 3. When I rip the DVD-V discs with DTS, is there anything special I have to do, or do I just use DVDAExplorer and rip to WAV? Does transporter support DTS natively. 4. You mentioned 48KHz, don't many DVD-V discs have 96.24? I cannot tell 48/24 from redbook CDs. 5. I mistakenly ripped some of my DVD-A discs in 5.1 mode, and it hangs my Transporter by refusing to play any files, I had to do a hard reset to bring it back. Does your Transporter do that? 6. I notice you are Meridian guru, the only Meridian I have is an F80 (I am a Naim person). I play DVD-V portion of some DVD-A discs on it, and they sound great! Sorry for so many questions. I am very excited about being able to hear my hires collection in my server system, and it sounds better than ever! -- agentsmith System 1: SB2 and a mostly Naim system System 2: SB2 connected digitally to a Meridian F80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55987 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
