I "hear" you!!!

DTS-HD Master Audio can only be transferred via HDMI or analog right? there is no DTS downconversion option, AFAIK, based on the info page on dts website.

As far as I'm aware of that is correct, just like Dolby TrueHD. I guess we'll know more when a player capable of transmitting DTS-HD master audio comes out.

The Toshiba HD-A1/XA1 both have built in DTS-HD decoders.

Do they decode DTS-HD Master Audio, or just the core, or what? The Ver2 upgrade did not mention adding DTS lossless capability--or maybe I missed it.

From what I understand DTS HD ("core only" as stated on the box and stuff) means HD in 5.1 channels.

It would be pretty stupid to adverstise DTS HD decoding, but only in regular DTS as it would completely negate the need for it at all.

It doesn't seem like the Toshiba, from its literature, can do DTS Master Audio, only the lossy 1.5 Megabits/sec core.

DTS-HD Master Audio will be one of my requirements in my next surround sound reciever.

Dan Hitchman · 09-09-2006, 04:03 PM

And don't forget a player that has HDMI 1.3 output capabilities as well or your new surround decoder won't be worth much.

OK...DTS-HD will be 5.1 then? Not to veer off topic but I've read that the current Dolby Digital True HD available on current releases is supposedly only 2 channels at the moment. Is that true or is it 5.1 and higher? The reason I don't buy any of the new releases on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD is I would like to see more titles with those two audio res as opposed to DD+ or plain DTS.
