??? Have any of you used an HDMI DE-EMBEDDER....to access the hi-rez audio that apparently is only available througfh the HDMI outputs ( and not the dumbed down digital toslink and coax outputs) ???
How to get HIGHEST-rez signal into my dac from a BRP
Right now i play Netflix dvd's on my Mac Mini, with the toslink out to my Benchmark DAC,into my Plinius 8200 MkII amp, into Platinum Audio Solo speakers ( 35Hz is 3dB down point) - no subwoofer has qualified via the WAF.
I'm willing to buy a Blu-ray player BUT only for access to the hi-rez audio they carry ( improved video is secondary)
OK...Now I get barely OK sound on some dvds ( Woody Allen films do ok with sound)...and a lotta times CRAPPY sound off 2-tracks on dvds.
HOW can i get access to the excellent quality audio in Blu-Ray discs DTS-HD Master Audio and/or Dolby® TrueHD?
I heard that the Blu-ray analog outputs are dumbed-down and not hi-rez quality- through the BRP's dac ....and that the desired hi-rez HD Master Audio and/or Dolby® TrueHD only go out via HDMI outputs. As a 2-channel audiophile with great equipment that I got to work synergistically after a lot of work - NO WAY am i going to play movie audio through some all-in-one "AV receiver" !
I am sure many of you fellow audiophiles feel the same way - AND some have solved this problem.
PlEASE, let me know possible solutions or work-arounds to achieve as sweet sound while listening to music as when watching a film.
