Has anyone heard about mod's that allow the use of outboard DAC's from different brands? There's a lot ad's for creating "region free" dvd players. How hard could it be to modify a DVD player with digital outputs to allow hi-rez signals to pass as well? If teenage hackers can break into government computers wouldn't it be easy to change to sofware on one of these players to make them blind to hi-rez recordings?
DVD Audio Connections
My A/V receiver (Marantz SR 8200) does not seem to recognize the multichannel signal from dvd audio discs. The front panel of the receiver indicates that it is receiving only front left and right signals (although sound comes from the side surrounds).
I have only the coaxial out from the dvd player connected to the receiver, although the dvd player has separate outputs for each 5.1 channel and my receiver has inputs for 7.1. Are these the connections I have to make to get multichannel dvd audio signal?
My receiver does not seem to have any problems recognizing the various surround signals from regular dvds.
Any help will be much appreciated.
