I run the Pi2 through an A/V Receiver - but only have a 5.1 setup - so the PCM instead of DTS-HD is ok.
Reading about the audio issues on the Q5 posted by hdmkv a while ago, put me off buying the Q5. The last thing I wanted to get is yet another player with serious issues (audio being pretty important)
Also Himedia loves to chuck out new models - so it could always be that they just concentrate on the new players.
I am probably a bit traumatized through Pocorn Media Players. Never again.
if audio being pretty important you know if KODI decode the lossy DTS track you lose metatada information
DTS Sound Check DTS-HD MA 7.1 with 7.1 setup speaker you have 7 separated chanel.
DTS Sound Check DTS-HD MA 7.1 with 5.1 setup speaker you have 5 separated chanel + 2 virtual chanel.
back surround speaker are recreated with combination of surround speaker.
try with player support DTS-HD MA 7.1 and 5.1 setup speaker wih kodi decoding(PCM) then with passthrough enabled(DTS-HD) to the receiver, there is big difference.You lose virtual back surround speakers and DTS / Ampi DSP optimization.
try 2013 DTS Blu-Ray Demo Disc Vol.17:
- Dredd – DTS Sound Check DTS-HD MA 7.1
- The Hunger Games – DTS Sound Check DTS-HD MA 7.1
of fil like Edge.of.Tomorrow DTS-HD MA 7.1
Kodi decoding the lossy DTS track it's good way ,but it's not equal however.
