[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 617630, member: 11220"] The problem is that S/PDIF only has enough bandwidth to carry[B]either[/B] stereo decoded audio [B]or[/B] a DD/DTS bitstream. If you want to have multi-channel decoded audio or the HD formats (TrueHD/DTS-HD MA) then you need a HDMI connection and a setup that will allow you to send LPCM over HDMI. (some HDMI connections only add an S/PDIF signal to the HDMI stream so it all depends on hardware) As above, only way around this is you have sources which are multi-channel decoded audio is to encode them on the fly to AC3 (DD) or DTS with AC3Filter or FFDshow but this will loose quality as you do it [/QUOTE]
