Okay, all these different audio formats have always confused me. On the back of this Jeff Beck Bluray disc "Live at Ronnie Scotts" it lists the audio format as LPCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS HD Master Audio.
LPCM (Lossless Pulse Code Modulation) Stereo, is what I'm interested in since I don't have surround sound. So does this mean I get the full resolution of DTS HD Master Audio in stereo. Some discs give the LPCM resolution as 24bit/96kHz, or 24bit/48kHz like on some True Audio Blurays I have.
On my Sony Blueray disc player it has the option to downmix to stereo or Left/Right. Is Left/Right just like left and right without the center channel? It definitely sounds better though ... more open, detailed, musical.
I think when I set my player to down sample to PCM it reduces the resolution. Note, it says PCM Stereo not LPCM Stereo. But I have my Bluray output set to stereo not multichannel.
They of course don't offer any details in the instructions. This player is True Audio capable but not DTS HD MA capable. Soooo .... not sure what to think. My dad says movies usually sound much better than our Benchmark processor. But the Benchmark sounds better than the Bluray player when playing CDs.
Well, just curious about this. I notice that music on DTS HD MA also allows for LPCM output. So that's nice, I think. Probably 24bit/96kHz or could that be 24bit/192kHz? They make this so simple really. :lol:
