[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1110892, member: 74879"] No, rather the opposite. However, in theory DD Live takes a 5.1 signal and encodes it as a standard Dolby Digital stream, hence both HDMI and SPDIF should play it. If you refer to gaming, then most likely the games will produce a 5.1 signal. Playing this via SPDIF requires it to be encoded into a DD signal, the latter being subject to drivers supporting this. In general the HDMI connection gives you much greater flexibility and there is no signal that SPDIF is capable of playing, which could not also be played via HDMI. [/QUOTE]
