I have played back 5.1 DTS files successfully from an SB2 into a Sony surround sound receiver. The hard part is the ripping/transcoding, not the playback.
If you want to skip the ripping/transcoding steps, try downloading some 5.1 DTS files from this Swedish Radio site: http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/mall/index.asp?ProgramID=2446 or http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/mall/artikel.asp?ProgramID=2446&Artikel=740607 These are zipped .wav files. Just unzip them and put them in your SC music directory. (And make sure that you have .wav file format supported). You need to make sure that you are not modifying the signal in any way. This means full volume (or even better digital output fixed), no crossfade and no gain control. It's been a few years since I tried, but it used to be the case that Softsqueeze could not playback DTS files (you would just get noise). Somehow the Java sound libraries that this app uses were modifying the digital signal -- meaning that you were not getting bit-perfect playback. Don't know if it has been fixed in recent versions. muski -- muski Transporter via XLR->Bryston BP26DA->Bryston 4B SST->Wilson Watt Puppy 7s Transporter via XLR->Headroom Max Balanced Headphone Amp->Balanced AKG701s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3670 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53634 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
