Digital output or PCM, what is sounding better?
But on my Pionner BD, it seems to me Digital, the best of the two...
So my question bears the answer, what is yours?

Both digital output and PCM are digital. Do you mean to compare bitstream with PCM?

  Yes. So what should be better sounding?
  Merci.

    This probably doesn't apply to you Patrick, but there's also Linear PCM which is a lossless 7.1 channel format which is decoded in the player and just amplified by the receiver.
    
    Not sure if this is sent through HDMI though - logic suggests if it is then it would need to be decoded........you can tell I haven't got a BluRay player yet. :0(

    - You can send MPCM via HDMI. Recommended, in fact. (NT) - Kal Rubinson 10:03:41 10/01/08 (1)

        curiously it was what I thought too. In my stereo, digital via HMI seems to sound better,
        I wonder why.

  - they should be the same - Joe Murphy Jr 12:05:42 09/14/08 (1)
    If the processor/receiver handles the two signals, bitstream and PCM, differently (which is incorrect or a poor design, by the way), you may hear a difference. Another possible reason for the difference is that the player or processor/receiver has the LFE glitch found on a few CE products (the LFE signal is lower than it's supposed to be).

      Tricky. It is the Accuphase processor...
      Thanks!
