DTS sound need decoder to decode the data to output the sound. This normally done by AV Receiver which DTS capable. Nowadays it is very common. However for those who does not have AVR, then Xtreamer will have internal DTS decoder to downmix it to 2 Channel sound and ouput to the TV. This is what we classify as DTS Downmix.

Thanks for the reply. How if i dont hv the AVR but i direct plug the optical to my Logitech z5500 from the Xstreamer. Question, will it support the audio format(5.1 surround)? I am quite anxious to know coz i dont hv much knowledge abt the sound system.

Added on January 25, 2010, 10:22 pmHDwarexpert, i got part of this spec from logitech z5500 website.... "The good: Powerful, crisp sound; Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS 96/24, and PCM 96/24 decoder; wireless remote control; coaxial and optical digital ins; headphone jack."

What do you think? will it support since it support the DTS?

Thanks again to you

New beta is out.....

extracted from forum.xtreamer.net

[UPDATE] Xtreamer BETA around the corner…
It’s me again, your friendly spammer next door! Get prepared for the next BETA test. We are expecting a medium to major bugfix/feature release within 2 or 3 days. All you beta testers out there, wake up and get ready.

It has gone quiet around the Xtreamer after the e-TRAYz has been released. All the action and fuzz was only about the e-TRAYz recently but the Xtreamer is back! The R&D team seemed very busy putting the Realtek SDK puzzle together. Today we were given the chance to sneak a peek once more and the result looks promising. To avoid misunderstandings: this next BETA release is not the highly anticipated v3 with the integrated jukebox with searching and indexing abilities, nope… it’s a v2.x.x addressing improvements and bugfixes, suggested and reported by the community. Once these have been confirmed to work they (R&D) can take this firmware as a base to concentrate on the v3 release which will finally have a jukebox *wiping tears away* and be released to us approximately in March…

So what can we expect in the next BETA? Improved BD(MV) support, new effects for your photo slideshows, improved WiFi settings, no more DTS out of sync etc etc etc … sounds nice? Hope I didn’t reveal too much, the list is a bit longer stay tuned!

can xtreamer play HD audio?

Apparently not due to some licensing issues. Not an issue for me, I'm enjoying the use of my Xtreamer to notice what it can't do

Realtek players unfit for HD Audio
