Hi all,
I've just bought the Onkyo HTS3500 and have hooked it up with this player:
https://www.asus.com/Multimedia/OPlay_Mini/
This is what the player supports:
Audio : MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC, AIFF, Dolby Digital AC3, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS 2.0 +Digital out, Tag ID3.
I have BluRay rips on my hdd with DTS sound however the player is unable to bitstream DTS to the AVR as it downsizes it to 2.0. This is what i've understood till now. I wonder if i play the rips through a computer using an audio card or a graphics card that bitstreams true DTS HD MA and True Dolby DD will i hear any difference in surround? Is it worth investing in a HTPC?
Many thanks.
