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. Julien

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? Julien Nope. I just picked up that Hell Freezes Over DTS CD . 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.

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 .

I have several dozens of DTS-CDs released by the French labels BNL, Syrius and Passavant. The purpose of this CDs was to released multichannel albums of classical or jazz/blues music recorded naturally with minimal mic techniques (1 mic = 1 channel of audio) to be reproduce with front-end multichannel speaker layout. The advantage of this technique is that it is possible to enjoy multichannel sound with only 3 or 4 of the 5 channels if, for whatever reasons, it is not possible to have 5 front-end identical speakers. This recording are generally excellent. Some are still in stock nowadays. The full catalogue can be asked by mailing the distributor : https://www.socadisc.com/ The album that have been released on DTS-CD bear the DTS logo on the CD cover.
