[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 880717, member: 10723"] Well, you have to understand the purpose of MPAR first. It is not meant to provide lossless quality [I](even though I can really not hear any difference in audio quality at all between MPAR and bitstreaming with my 5.1 setup / Onkyo AV-Receiver)[/I]. It is meant to fix the [B]video stuttering[/B] issues many users experience which can be caused by crappy hardware clocks, [B]mismatch between video FPS and display refreshrate[/B] [I](most common cause)[/I], etc. These issues you can only fix by adjusting the audio, and you can not adjust a bitstream. Bottomline is that many users including myselfe are very happy with the results MPAR provides because we finally have absolutelly smooth video playback which no other HTPC software is able to provide in that way [I](at least for me ;) )[/I], and so I do not agree at all the it is a waste of time. MPAR is not the only nor the default audio renderer in MediaPortal. So we are not forcing it on our users. Everyone can decide on his own if he wants to take use of it or not. [/QUOTE]
