Will a Proceed AMP handle LPCM input?

Does anyone know if the Proceed AVP will process linear pcm input? Namely, if I have a PS/3 decode the HD/Master Audio tracks, send them down the HDMI cable to a splitter/ssp which sends the audio output to coax/toslink to the AVP, can the AVP process the signal?

If the AVP can do, I'm sure the AVP2 can as well.

Thank you,
Tim

Could not find a definitive answer in the owners manual. If it won't there are lots of little black box adapters for $50 or less that will.

Mezmo's understanding is correct. At the risk of oversimplifying, LPCM is basically two channel audio up to CD redbook standards. For any surround codecs such as Dolby Digital or DTS you will be dealing with "bitstream" not LPCM.

So if you are looking to any higher resolution or surround codecs you will need to deal with HDMI hook ups and the DRM and HDCP that goes with it.

Dtc,

I assume you meant DIGITAL Dolby when talking about the original and the mkII version. Otherwise you are discussing the analog versions.

"S/PDIF can only carry 2 channels of LCPM." FWIU that is correct.
