Best solution today is probably a Dune player for lossless multi-channel FLAC through HDMI. -- gonk Does this unit has a bad motivator? gonk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1271 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88778 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I have Porcupine Tree's DVD-A in 5.1 which I would love to turn into a flac and play it through the Touch (multichannel version). Is this possible? I've read about two programs Dvd-a explorer and dvd-a extractor. Which one is the easiest to use? Any settings I need to be aware of? I have the squeezebox Touch. I've just been doing some testing of this and here are some conclusions: 1) If you convert the multichannel DVD-Audio to FLAC, you Touch will only play the left and right channels. All other channels are ignored (try playing a channel identification track [ you know: Front Left, Center, Front Right, Surround Right, Surround Left, Subwoofer ] and you'll clearly hear this. 2) If you convert to WMA Lossless it will play some tracks, but also seems to die on other tracks (limited testing, but the first MC track I tried failed). If you do get a track to play, it will output sound for all of the source channels. However, the output is stereo only, so you won't get back any surround effects, even if you enable Dolby PL-IIx decoding. If they had taken the C, SR, SL channels and mixed them into FR and FL using the PL-IIx encoding matrix, most mutilchannel receivers would do a fair job of resurecting the original multichannel mix. But at least you do get output from all 6 source channels (if it works). Anyone else interested in multichannel?
