PCM or Bitstream


I have a dvd player that has the option to play bitstream or pcm.I am wondering which is what I am supposed to use.I have a/b ed them with several recordings and I can not seem to pic up on a difference in sound.What gives with this?

Pcm uses your players Dac..Bitstream uses your processor's Dac. Most (not all) pre/pro's have the better Dac so you should hear some kind of difference. Do you have a good digital cable? Maybe both Dac's are very close in quality.
