Hi Sam,
I am curious, how do you know RFC does not have access to 5.1 Channel
material?
Are you certain?

Mike,
If they had native 5.1 material, wouldn't they make mention of that?
Seems like a huge selling point.
The other indication that the source material is stereo comes when they
share this information:

For anyone interested in making a donation to RFC, I would say, Buyer

DPL II is a decoder only. It works with any 2 channel stereo source
whether surround encoded or not, although you will get better channel
separation on Dolby Surround encoded material. DPL II works with the

Thanks for providing a thorough background on what RFC is doing.
However, I think my original point still stands: if the original source
material was mixed/recorded in 2.0, you are really getting only a
facsimile of true 5.1 surround sound. This can be achieved via the
-encoder- method
Hello to everyone,
I tuned into Radio Free Colorado yesterday and was curious about the
new way Radio Free Colorado sounds, so I went to the RFC website
(http://www.radiofreecolorado.net) and discovered that
_*Radio_Free_Colorado_is_now_streaming_its_broadcast_in_5.1_Channel_Surround_Sound*_.
Very interesting.
I may have missed this in your post, but what is the source material
they are broadcasting? Native 5.1 mixes of music (not very many), or
are they doing some pseudo 5.1 from stereo material and then
broadcasting that out?

I guess RFC is just using DPL2 encoding on their stream?

If that is the case, wouldn't one achieve the same/similar results from
engaging DPL2 on their receiver or pre-amp?
