[slim] Hi everybody,i'm new here,i've got a question...
Hello! I have a problem regarding my squeezbox.. the problem is that i CANT play DTS/DD/AC3 sound format audio files on my audio system under this situation: My Squeezbox is connected Via coax cable to a DAC (valab nos), the DAC is connected to my 7.1 AV receiver,HK AVR 255 (via analog interconnect into an alalog input). Now the only problem i have is playing audio files (that are on my PC) that are in 5.1 format (such as DTS audio cd etc'...) P.S: if i remove the DAC and connect the Squeezbox straight to the AV receiver,i have NO problem at all hearing any kind of audio formats what so ever... so i guess the problem has to do with the 5.1 to 2.0 decoding that is not possible in the VALAB dac (it never ment to do so..) ANY suggestion you guys have for me?

ANY suggestion you guys have for me? Thanks! Correct me if I am wrong. Valab NOS uses a very old chip for CD audio only. It only has dts/ac3 pass-through, not decoding. This is why you cannot play dts/ac3 with it. Squeezebox when playing dts/ac3 outputs the original coded stream to the digital out. It relies a dts/ac3 receiver to decode them. -- Honva Honva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76266 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Hi everybody,i'm new here,i've got a question...
Does it have both optical and coax Digi outs? Does your rcvr and DAC have one or the other or both? No problem using both digital outputs of the SB simultaneously - one for the DAC for two-channles use, the other to the rcvr for multi-channel listening. Just remember what is playing to use the correct input selector on the rcvr! Might that work?
