First of all, it is nice to give the 'audio path' info in MC17. Good Job !!!
I have a buch of 5.1ch DTS audio files with 16bit-44.1kHz in either DTS or WAV format.
When I playback these DTS files I found something strange.
The tag infomation (ch & bit) listed in the tag window is different from the input info shown in the audio-path.
The one I playback must be 6ch-16bit (I checked it with foobar).
The MC17 tag info, however, tells it is 2ch-16bit while the input info in audio path tells 6ch-32bit.
Furthermore, since the input is 32bit and the output is set to 24bit,
audio path gives a warning 'not using enough bits to output input directly.'
(I set up the bitdepth to 24bit in DPS because of my reciever (ONKYO TX608-SR) limit.)
There is nothing wrong with sound. MC17 delivers a nice 5.1ch surround sound to my 5.1ch-speaker system.
I just like to know what is going on regarding to MC17 tag info and audio path.
I do have some other multi-channel SACD audio files in flac format and they shows the correct and the same tag and audio path info.
This weird thing happens only in the case of 5.1ch 16bit-44.1kHz DTS audio files.
For your understanding, here is a screen capture of 5.1ch DTS audio playback image.
