So does this mean that in theory, the Pi1/Pi2 should be able to run DTS-HD bitstreaming (7.1ch 96KHz) if there was KODI/library code to support it?
If yes, is this something that might be coming to KODI down the line?

No. The transport for DTS-HD (and TrueHD) uses 8 channels@192kHz even for 96kHz and 48kHz content.
I have tried outputting at 48/96kHz but the receiver doesn't detect it...

Hello

I have a cubox ie2x and a Onkyo AVR that does do DTS-HD MA (As tested by blu-ray player) however it is a 5.1 amplifier, according to DTS-HD spec 5.1 is a valid transport medium however I get no audio on passthrough.
Is this due to the 8 channel transport requirement ?
If it is due to a 8 channel requirement is there any build that supported 6 that I could revert to or any way to make it work with 6 ?

Thanks
