I got them to play!

But it takes more space... probably because the DTS compression is expanded to 6ch WAVs.

Example: Sting ‎– Brand New Day - A Thousand Years

(A) Rip EAC
60MB
Foobar => 2ch 16bit
VLC => DTS Audio 3F2M/LFE 32bit
OPPO => KO

(B) Foobar2000 Quick Convert wav-to-wav (DTS decoded to LPCM multi-channel)
180MB !!!
Foobar => 6ch 16bit
VLC => PCM S16 LE/3F2M/LFE 16bit
OPPO => OK

(C) DTS PARSER Rebuild
52.5MB
Foobar => Corrupt File
VLC => DTS Audio 3F2M/LFE 32bit
OPPO => KO

... and somehow I'm still buying old DTS CDs whenever I get a chance!

Steely Dan – Gaucho (5.1)
Eagles – Hell Freezes Over (5.1, different mix from the LD/DVD DTS releases)
James Horner – Titanic (5.1 20-bit but sound mostly from L/C/R)

Am I the only one?

Got Sting - Brand New Day recently. Wanted to see how much different, if at all, the DTS surround is from the surround track on the DVD-Audio release.

This was a limitation of the OPPO.
Couldn't play a DTS stream from a 44.1/16 file, only multi-channel WAV/FLAC.

However, if you feed the OPPO with the same file over HDMI in, it will gladly decode the DTS in 5.1ch.

Nope. I just picked up that Hell Freezes Over DTS CD :thumbup:. Sounds great overall considering it’s a concert mix.

I guess I’ll keep looking for the DTS LD of it if the mix is indeed different.

The LD dts and DVD dts share the same mix which is much heavier on bass, to the point of sounding a little unnatural.

I think DTS Inc. wanted to show off their technology with these releases.

If that’s the only difference and it’s not even an improvement, I may just skip it then. I guess price on the item will determine that for me. Thanks for letting me know :thumbup:.
