I've not seen a DD track on an HD DVD, they all have a minimum 3 mbps DD+ track. Yes, since 1.5 is double to triple the bit rate you get from pretty much any DVD.
I assume they think people will move to HDMI to get that. What is the bitrate for standard DD and DTS on BR/HD anyway? I take it that the quality of any such down mixed track will outperform a standard DD and DTS from normal DVDs? Well, 1500kpbs is still better than 448kpbs for standard DD.
What about all the native 7.1 DOLBY TrueHD and DTS-MA tracks (few as they may be)? Maybe future players will have a 7.1 analog out? Seems to have 24BIT/192kHz DACs for all 6 channels.Ī bit disappointing actually. Got the below specs from the TOSHIBA webpage on this player:īuilt-in Dolby® Digital, Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby® Digital Plus, DTS®, and DTS® HD (core only)ĭolby® True HD Compatible (2 Channel, 5.1 channel enabled via firmware update) They will however reencode DTS-HD as 1.5 DTS.Ī train station is where the train stops. They will not downmix the True HD, only the DD+ signal. I can't remember the particulars on each of the BD players, but the HD DVD players will down mix the 3-6 mbps DD+ to the maximum DTS bit rate of 1.5 Mbps and reencode it as DTS and send it to your receiver like that. Not sure on the BD side, but all HD DVD players with analog do. About the only time I can really hear a difference in a DSP mix and the simple splitting is around the room spinning effects or slow flyovers. In practice, it is not that much different than a 7.1 mix created with DSP from a 5.1.

I have not kept up with all of them, but the HD-A1 actually got an audiophile following for being the best performing CD player under $1000.Ģ) run "Y" adapters so the surround and back of a given side get the same signal (just like real movie theaters). Link Posted: Mon 5:56 pm Post subject: Re: HD audio without HDMI The players DACs have to be 24BIT/192kHz capable.Ģ) are there even any HD players with decent DACs and a good processor (bass management etc.)?ģ) are there any players with a 7.1 analog output (haven't seen one so far)? If there isn't that would mean no surround back channels!Ĥ) if the disc states "5.1 uncompressed PCM audio" will this be output 1:1 over analog 5.1 connection?ĥ) if I were to use the COAX of OPTICAL connection to my DENON from the HD Player what is the bit rate for "downmixed" DTS-MA and DD True HD? And for standard DTS and DD Is it still 1500kpbs for DTS and 448kbps for DD? What I would like to know is:ġ) is the analog output signal over the RCA 5.1 out on HD player always uncompressed for DTS-MA and DOLBY TrueHD? I haven't really looked that much into the capabilities of the analog 5.1 outputs of current HD players yet. The 5800 actually has two 7.1 RCA inputs for external sources. In order to still get DTS-HD and DOLBY TrueHD I am thinking of connecting the analog 5.1 RCA output of the BR/HD-DVD player to the 5.1 input of the DENON. I am not willing to invest in a new receiver again since the 5800 was very expensive and apart from the lack of HDMI in and HD-audio decoding still excellent. I own a DENON AVR 5800 (2001 model or so with no HDMI.) which is not capable of decoding DTS-MA or DOLBY TrueHD.
