not currently possible to do because (we think) the xbox mpc can only pass-through 48khz streams, dts-audio cd's are 44.1khz

the mpc only has 48khz output support (passthrough or otherwise). it may be possible to decode the dts cd in software then have the mcp resample it up to 48khz ac3, but at present there's nothing planned for this.

:eeeek: using the mcp-x to do the resampling.
i was thinking it would be way cooler if we found a hq resampler that way hi-fi enthusiasts could use the xbox better for audio purposes (digital out, passthru mcp-x)

is it a sacd (super audio cd)?? or a dvd audio? those are the only other 2 formats that can contain a full 5.1 signal. in which case you will need to use a special dvd player to use those discs.
i will be trying to rip an sacd in its entirety tomarrow onto my pc hard drive and then see if the xbox will recognize it like that. i will reply and let you know how it goes.

dts cds are neither sacd nor dvd-audio, they're just regular cds with a 5.1 dts track (most dvd players will play them). there is a feature request for this already @ sf, or at least for having direct digital passthrough for dts cds and raw .dts files. at the moment this only works with dts tracks in video.
hopefully raw .ac3 files could be handled the same way (with direct passthrough).

here's a little explanation why xbmc "supports" dts in movies and not on audiocd's.
dts movies: xbmc supports dts -passthru- of said signal. it doesnt do any actual decoding, just sends it over sp/dif to a receiver. when the passthru feature was developed, the developer found out that only 48khz audio could be used for passthru
dts audiocd: are 44.1khz... we'd need to decode the dts signal for support.
