Hi The FF cards can't output a true raw DD stream but have to encapsualte the DD data within a PCM stream. Some older amps, such as my Sony STR-DB940 don't understand this stream format as it was only added to handle chips where the header construction was out of the software control. I have just had to explain all this to Kiss as the dp-600 (and any other players using the same sdk) showed this flaw but is apparently fixable in software. Hope this makes sense but it's late Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomas Prybil" <vdrmail@xxxxxxxxx> To: <vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 10:02 PM Subject: [OT] SPDIF and AC3 > Hi list. > > I'm trying to get DD/AC3 *properly* working with vdr and my reciever a > Marantz SR5600. > > PCM works ok right out of the FF card and my A/V Reciever decodes PCM > basically OK.
