#DOBLY DTS DECODER PLUS#
Still, I have a record player hooked up to my surround sound system and wouldn't dream of pumping my vintage vinyl through five channels plus a subwoofer. A lot of music is mastered that way and a lot of older stuff is remastered to take advantage of surround sound. July 12, - that is all true unless you are dealing with music specifically mastered for surround sound. A Dolby Digital® decoder could also be built into a computer sound card. An alternative to a receiver is an all-in-one unit in which the decoder and audio inputs are built into the subwoofer, which then connects to the speakers. Most receivers will also have a radio built in, while some can also handle video signals. In most cases, the decoder will form part of a device known as a receiver which connects to one or more audio sources and then distributes the sound to the various speakers. The most common use of a Dolby Digital® decoder is as part of a home entertainment system. However, there are also several other versions of Dolby Digital®.Ī Dolby Digital decoder decodes signals sent in the most popular format for digital surround sound. The most common version of this format involves five individual surround channels plus a separate channel for low frequency sounds carried by a subwoofer. Intel Core i7 2600k 4.4 Ghz | FX-8570 4.A Dolby Digital® decoder is a device which decodes signals sent in the most popular format for digital surround sound. If you have good equipment, which it seems like you do, the losslessly compressed audio (10+Mb/s) does sound much better than Dolby Digital (640Kb/s) or even DTS (1.5Mb/s) I can understand you wanting to use the audio processing of the computer sound card, but I highly would suggest using a native HDMI output from the Playstation rather than the optical cable. I know I did the exact same thing with my home receiver about a decade ago, before uncompressed digital audio output on PCs (via HDMI) came out and simplified everything.įrom what I interpret, you care about the audio quality and not just getting this to work. You would just use the receiver as a source selector and decoder.Īlso consider getting one with multichannel analog inputs if you don't want to use HDMI or TOSLINK to connect the sound card to the receiver that way you can connect the discrete sound from your computer's sound card to the receiver with unprocessed analog cables instead of using DDL/DTS. You can just get three 3.5mm to stereo RCA adapters and then connect your computer speakers to the analog pre-outs.



If you want to use your speakers' integrated amplifier, then get a cheap receiver with analog pre-outs the quality of the receiver's integrated amplifier doesn't matter since you wouldn't be using it.
