BluRay settings for Audio out

[admin_exported]

Hi All,

I keep confusing myself on this one - with a Pioneer LX-70a on the audio out options is it best to output all as PCM to my amp via HDMI or to output as DD, DTS etc.

Any advice welcomed.

Cheers.

Assuming your amp can decode all the HD formats, generally, it seems to be considered better to output as bitstream and let the amp decode, though in theory, there's not really any reason why one should be better than the other.

Personally, I set to bitstream just because this lights the amp up and I know exactly which format the sound is in. I'm strange in that I like to know that sort of info
