I personally decode my audio, i am happy about the new ffmpeg dts-hd decoder. Sync of bitstream audio is far more difficult than using decoded pcm audio that you can resample a minimal bit from time to time.
OK, I get it. I use optical for DTS (5.1 and stereo) and this is all I need, although I understand it is quite outdated and many people already use more advanced audio. I'm completely satisfied with DTS 5.1 quality.
Speaking about this: is it possible to use dts-hd audio stream to convert to optical out? Will this make any sense at all in terms of quality?
