In Reply to: DTS to PCM Digital out? posted by dormant on October 27, 2001 at 10:11:51:
Perhaps my wording wasn't clear. The DAC I am referring to here is not an AV receiver DAC that's capable of DD/DTS decoding, but a regular PCM only DACs. I had PT P3A and am looking at Kora Hermes 24/192. Since these are PCM only DACs, I was wondering if a DVD player would convert DTS to PCM through its digital output. Thanks.
Follow Ups:
Since they can convert DD to PCM, you would think they could do the same with DTS, but I have not tried it, as I have zero DTS DVDs (I do have one DTS CD and a couple DTS LDs, I think). Regardless of whether or not it works or not, however, you are far better off running your DD or DTS signal into the appropriate decoder in a receiver or preamp/processor.Before I got my Marantz AV-9000, I had my Pioneer DV-414 configured to output PCM to utilize the sole digital input on my old Onkyo 909 receiver. There was a drastic improvement in sound quality when I got the Marantz and was able to run straight Dolby Digital. DVD players apparently do a relatively mediocre job of constructing a PCM signal out of a DD one, and really, this does not seem that surprising when you consider the nature of what is involved.
