|   What type of Decoder needed if DVD-Audio goes digital?? | KiD SmokE
Oct 20, 2002 11:09 AM | | I guess this is the continuation of post below.
Two main question I have if MLP compression is used to transfer data, then in what format DVD-audio is recorded on disc:MLP or PCM?
And also if DVD-audio goes digital, what type of decoder one would need. MLP, PCM or combination of both Decoder since transferred signal in MLP format??
BTW: welcome back Sire Terrence :) |

For example, Denon and Pioneer both have top-of-the-line DVD-A player that outputs DVD-A track digitally to their respective top-of-the-line receivers. Is this signal still "packaged"? Or has it been "unpacked" by the DVD-A player to simple PCM?
I'm also wondering, since my Yamaha RX-V1300 has 24/192 DAC for all channels, and the manual says the co-axial digital input that handle "higher than 96kHz digital signal", if a DVD-A player will simply "unpack" the DVD-A high-rez track, perhaps even my lowly Yamaha can handle the D/A conversion?
