In Reply to: HT Processors in DD/DTS - do they all sound alike? posted by daleda on April 4, 2002 at 14:18:32:
Many processors use the same chip to "decode" the DTS or DD data signal. At this point the data is raw PCM and all processors are more or less on equal footing. It's what's done after this point that makes the difference. You can expect high-end processors to use better D/A converters, analog stages, etc. MSB Technology actually makes a product (MDP-3X) that will output the decoded DTS or DD PCM bitstream on three digital outputs (2 channels on each output) for the 5.1 channels. You can then use whatever D/A converters you want. Imagine having three Wadia 27ix DACs to process your 5.1 HomeTheater sound!!!
