    RSP-1098 able to process Dolby Digital plus?

    Guys,


    I just bought a HD-DVD player which is capable of outputting a new audio format: Dolby Digital plus.

    Is the RSP-1098 capable of processing this sound format (e.g. after a firmware upgrade) or do I have to buy a complete new sound processor for this? If the latter is applicable, do you know when Rotel is introducing a new sound processor?

    I hope you already have some experience with this issue;-)

    Regards,
    Angelo

      The 1098 does not processes it.

      Depending on which HD DVD player you bought you can have the HD DVD player decode it and send it to the 1098 via analog outputs. Its worth while doing.

      As for when rotel is releasing a model which can decode the next gen formats your guess is as good as mine. 1 year? 2 maybe?

          I got word of this new Dolby digital format to be called Dolby Digital Plus from an industry friend and its supposed to be unvielded at the NAB conference shortly.

          DTS-HD & Dolby Digital Plus
          by Chetk
          I just wanted to throw this question out there:

          What is the likelyhood that the C1 or C2 will be upgraded to support DTS-HD and Dolby Digital Plus? Blu-Ray & HD-DVD have announced (months ago) that these format will be supported.

          Here's information on DTS-HD with a...

          Did anyone go to the Dolby booth at CES? I saw a huge line but didn't bother waiting since I didn't know they were showing off a new format. DOOH!!

          I'm right on the edge of buying a new preamp but I don't want to get stuck with something that can't handle the full bitrate of Dolby Digital...
