1068/hd-a2

Hey guys, I noticed something while watching Batman Begins on HD-DVD (HD-A2 player). When I bitstream via Toslink either Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby True HD, my Rotel 1068 indicates the signal is DTS???

Does the 1068 think the signal is DTS due to the higher bandwidth signal or do you think I have something setup incorrectly?

Thanks,

Actually, that's the nice thing about the A2's that the A3's don't have. It will convert all better then DTS sound formats into full bit-rate DTS signals when you are using the optical/coaxial outputs. So you are getting better sound, don't change anything!

Thanks Kevin D, I thought I had something configured wrong.... So if I understand you correctly, the signal is being converted to DTS at a higher bitrate than regular DTS. So does it matter whether Dolby True HD or Dolby Digital + is selected or do both end up at the same bitrate?

You got it. Of course, a signal with no loss (True-HD) would probably sound better lossy (DTS) then a lossy signal (DD+) converted to another lossy signal.

Of course at this point, you probably wouldn't notice a difference.
