Hi Folks,
I'm currently using a Philips BDP-3000 connected to a DacMagic via the coax digital output, I have the Philips set to output PCM to the coax.
I'm just wondering when watching blu rays what would be the best type of audio for me to watch the film in? or does it not matter as the DacMagic converts all 5.1 channels into 2?
I do find when switching between LPCM and Dolby Digital channels on the blu ray disc itself that the Dolby Digital channel is louder and seems to have more the effects pumped into my 2 speakers.
Of course when a blu ray does offer a specific PCM 2.0 channel mode I'll always use it, but on some blu rays I find the LPCM quieter, I'm guessing because this is a multi channel PCM.
Any help on optimizing my setup for 2 channel playback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
