Hi
The FF cards can't output a true raw DD stream but have to encapsualte the DD data within a PCM stream. Some older amps, such as my Sony STR-DB940 don't understand this stream format as it was only added to handle chips where the header construction was out of the software control. I have just had to explain all this to Kiss as the dp-600 (and any other players using the same sdk) showed this flaw but is apparently fixable in software.
Hope this makes sense but it's late
Yes it makes sense, the question is how one could repack the stream to DD format?
Is the bitstreamout plugin a way to do this? I've seen some earlier comments about looping the output of the FF SPDIF through an additional sound card with a new SPDIF output. Is that the way to go or could the plugin read the AC3 stream directly?
