  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.

    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!
