SOLVED: Getting dts bitstreaming audio files to play in MC17

<< < (2/2)

Matt:
With HDMI, there is no reason to bitstream DTS.  It would be better to decode on the PC and send lossless PCM.

This should be the default behavior with Media Center.

It's ok to be the default, but please don't delete the capability or limit the ability to bitstream for those user's who prefer that method due to particulars of their setup.

I have doen steps 1 & 2 and wasn't getting my DTS 5.1 FLAC files to work. I am sending bit perfect files to my OPPO bdp-105. Wouldn't step 3 involve the PC's sound card?

I "solved" this by loading my Logitech media library into MC 18, and now 5.1 DTS FLAC playback works. Drawback is that cover art and meta tags are all missing so I set my Pure Direct on and the TV doesn't get a signal. I'll look into step 3 to see what gives so I can remove the Logitech Media server and hopefully regain tags.

One more setting to add to the to-do list in order to send a bit perfect DTS stream to your DAC.  Need to set the following:

Options -> Audio -> Advanced -> Dither Mode (not zone-specific): JRiver Bit-exact Dithering
