Hi Guys
In the Coming soon thread on the front page it says:
That's lovely and I'm sure its very cool but what does it mean for us?, what will this do that it didn't do before? what's the use case?
Please don't think I'm being ungrateful, I'd just like to understand better.
Also I have and Onkyo 507 AV reciever connected to my box via SPDIF. All info seems to imply it should be able to handle most formats . I currently only have the DTS Capable ticked, but when I try and watch certain films (including films marked as DTS I get a message saying "Failed to initialise audio device" does this mean my amp can't handle DTS? Or am I doing something wrong?
Which of the following should I have set, what is my amp capable of?
Any help, advice or links to good info about this stuff would be great.
