In Reply to: DTS to PCM Digital out? posted by dormant on October 27, 2001 at 10:11:51:
"It is generally possible for a DVD player to decode DD signal and output it as PCM for an external DAC. Does the same holds true in case of DTS signal?"I don't believe the DVD players can do this. It general, DD can be downmixed to PCM on the digital output by the DVD players themselves (as you mentioned), but DTS can not. Your only solution is hope that the DTS DVD in question also has a PCM output option in it's menu (i.e. The Eagle's "Hell Freezes Over" DTS DVD also has a PCM track).

Problem solved! I just picked up a new SONY NS500V DVD player that has built-in DTS decoder. In its config menu, it has options for BOTH DD and DTS conversion to PCM digital output! You can select whether to digitally output DD and DTS as they are or convert them into PCM. Since I don't have a PCM DAC right now, I can't test it. But when I get my Kora Hermes next week, it will be very interesting. :)
