Hello all,
Recently I have been archiving all of my recorded music to FLAC. Just this past week I discovered "DVD-Audio Explorer 2008" which has allowed me to extract all of my DVD-Audio recordings as multi-channel MLP files. I then used "eac3to" to convert the MLP files to multi-channel WAV. I then dropped the multi-channel WAV files into FLAC to have them converted to multi-channel 5.1 FLAC files.
The process worked flawlessly and I now have my DVD-Audio recordings successfully backed up on my computer retaining all quality. Quality ranges from 24 bit 48kHz, to 24 bit 96kHz.
This leads me to my question: If I hook my computer up via HDMI to a receiver capable of playing LPCM (multi-channel PCM) audio over HDMI will my files play as expected? If so, would they play with Winamp? Or would I need to use another media player?
I don't have an HDMI capable receiver yet, but am eyeing up the Rotel RSX-1560 or RSP-1570 (I am currently running the RSP-1068 ).
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Bryan
