In Reply to: Audio Processor Advice -- Can I do without HD Audio? posted by jedrider on February 29, 2012 at 11:00:00:
The new audio formats, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, will not transmit via TOSLINK. The player, depending on what soundtrack is available, will send either DTS -- lossy -- or Dolby Digital -- lossy -- over TOSLINK for surround output. The new audio formats need HDMI for lossless transmission.
"When I upgrade to HD Audio, do I then throw away all that Toslink stuff that I have invested in??)"
No. You either sell it to recoup a few $ or give it to someone. And that goes for the DVD player as well.
