DVD5 SPDIF Output

Posted by: Mr Underhill on 01 January 2008

Can anyone tell me what the output sample rates are from the spdif connectors?

Had a look in the manual - couldn't find it specified.

Is everything taken down to 16bit 44.1KHz?
Will it output stereo 24bit 192KHz?

Thx,

Martin

Hi

- CD is output at 44.1kHz
- everything else is 48k.
- DVDA/DTS > 48k is downsampled to 48k (All dvd players must do this)
- DTS 96/24 is passed as a DTS stream with the 96/24 data intact (as long as the SPDIF output setting is set to multichannel rather than Stereo)

Thx Steve.

I am recording music at 96/24 and burning it to DVD.

Do I take it that there is no way to play this via any DVD?

Thx,

No 2.

- everything else at 48k

What sampling size? 16/20/24 bit?

Thx,

It'll play back at 96kHz via analog–I've done check mixes on DVD-A before, and this seems to work fine. 24/96 via SPDIF is probably pushing it a bit, especially with some digital interconnects.

Thanks David, I know I could use the internal DAC but I use an external one I prefer, hence my question.

SPDIF can handle 4824 from my reading.
