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
try with 5.1 setup speaker wih kodi decoding then with passthrough enabled to the receiver, there is big difference.You lose virtual back surround speakers and DTS / Ampi DSP optimization.
What platforms are you doing this test on?
Pi can't passthrough DTS-HD.
Other platforms can't decode DTS-HD.
So you'd need to test with Pi decoding the DTS-HD and another platform (e.g. Chromebox) passing through the DTS-HD.
You might want to set the Pi to 7.1 channels and let the receiver do the mixing to 5.1.
i talk about general, i test with player in signature can passthrough DTS-HD.
Try passthrough DTS Sound Check DTS-HD MA 7.1 into 5.1 ampi setup( no upmix , no audisy DSX, no prologic ) ... your surprise :-)
