This makes perfect sense and now I’m on the same page, thank you. One thing

There are alot of apple adaptors now that allow you to do all sorts of things I
have a thunderbolt to hdmi adaptor which gives surround sound.
I also have a USB sound card (External) that allows me to get 5.1 sound through

DTS definitely isn’t lossless on DVDs, just very high bitrates (actually, quite
embarrassingly, people have found that FLAC, which is actually lossless, often
outperforms it for efficiency). However, it uses bandpasses to do the whole

So talk about this a little more. The bottom line is there’s difficulty
getting 5.1 out of a Mac?
I hadn’t thought about that. I just have used the Apple TV and an optical out
but never tried to do 5.1 right out of the Mac.
Here’s another question, what if I want to play back with non
It is interesting reading, yeah. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t have 5.1 myself, but this article seems a bit misleading when it says,
for instance, that DVD playback using DVD player or iTunes Store movies don’t
support 5.1. Of course both do, but you need a software decoder, such as that
