[QUOTE="Uli123, post: 1197794, member: 132186"] Hi Helios61 and MePo Community, you are right, after some month I also realize that my litte NUC 3700 lacks of bitstreaming support for HD signals :-( Following the thread on the official intel forum I do not think, that there will be a solution in future for this piece of hardware. Since I am not sure, if i3 NUCs will support bitstreaming (ie. NUC 5i3RYK) and also my surrounding devices like LG flat TV and old but genious Harman AVR 330 receiver will support HD streaming, I now think about using as much as possible software intelligence (hence: Mediaportal and codecs) to allow watching DTS-HD movies etc. So, my idea is to convert (PCM wise) HD signals to multichannel PCM (5.1) and hopefully my TV (via HDMI ARC) will route digital audio in DTS or Dolby quality (no ..HD) to my ancient receiver. Cabling is: NUC connected via HDMI to LG TV, LG TV connected via Digital Out (Toslink) to AV Receiver (ARC functionality). I know this is not a contemporary setup, but I'm trying to get the best out of it. Now, saying this my idea is that MP will convert ANY media format (DTS, Dolby, DTS HD, Stereo,...) to PCM (either multichannel or stereo, depending on source format) and not to bypass it and then NUC sends PCM signal to TV and TV will ARC it to Harman Receiver. Stupid? Impossible? However, I am a bit confused regarding SW components (FFDShow,...) and configuration. Maybe someone can give me some hints on it. Kind regards and thank you very much for your ideas, Ulrich [/QUOTE]
