Nope, it's actually newer, but an optional format. > I *think* that if AC3 passthrough works then DTS must work - it's just a > matter of setting a non-audio bit on the stream. Depends on the receiver. Some play the stream even if non-audio is not set. It could be that non-audio is not set, but receiver detects DTS but not DD if the non-audio bit isn't set. There exist DTS-Audio CDs, which means instead of PCM DTS streams are recorded as CDDA tracks. So here the receiver can't rely on the non-audio bit. Cheers, -- (°= =°) //\ Prakash Punnoor /\\ V_/ \_V
