Re: DTS HD-Master Audio woes
Bitstreaming means you get the DTS core of the DTS-HD track.

Re: DTS HD-Master Audio woes
Actually, I think you'd oly be able to get the DTS core either way. I don't believe the BD10A is capable of bitstreaming Master Audio. Checking out the manual online confirms that:

Re: DTS HD-Master Audio woes
I hope I can use this thread to ask another question, instead of just opening a new one.
I have a Sony BDP-S350, the configurations are set correct for bitstreaming (I get dts when I select a DTS-HD MA track) but I find it to be a bit lackluster. The LFE channel isn't as deep as it's supposed to be. I read in reviews that Wall-E had some thunderous scenes, and the sub is barely noticable on my system. Also in Raging Bull one of the fights (at least on the Ultimate Edition dvd) gave some extra punch, and it just wasn't there when I watched the blu-ray. But King Kong sounded wonderfully, and The Dark Knight (no DTS-HD) sounded spectacular. Does this player has any problems with bitstreaming that some are aware of? Or do I have to play with my configurations?

If your settings on the S350 are to bitstream like this: HDMI Audio = Auto
BD Audio = Direct. Then you should be good.

Re: DTS HD-Master Audio woes
Troy is correct. The S350 will only decode the DTS core, but will bitstream DTS HD MA. It does decode Dolby TrueHD, though. My receiver won't decode Master Audio, but since I didn't even have DTS until recently, I'm not complaining, especially @ the price I paid.

Re: DTS HD-Master Audio woes
I checked and everything is set correctly. So, is the BDP-S350 not that good at bitstreaming, or is it something else?
