Hi everyone,
I have a lot of questions regarding hardware for playback. In order to keep things simple, I'll ask one question at a time.
I have a MiBox running Kodi. Things work as well as can be expected.
I've noticed that a lot of what I'm download has AAC audio. I've set things up so it converts it to DD. This is fine up to 5.1, but 7.1 AAC will only get encoded as 5.1 DD.
I'm not sure when AAC became popular, but my question is, is there any way to stream 7.1 AAC properly?
I'm assuming my AVR (Onkyo) won't accept multi channel AAC, this is why it gets converted to DD?
Is there any way to converting it to 7.1 DD?
Why does 7.1 AAC exist? In what situation can you play it 7.1?
Thanks
