Can it handle a multichannel linear PCM (LPCM) stream? I need lossless audio from a PS3 and it can't send out DTS-MA or Dolby-True HD, only LPCM 24/96

Yes, can handle all PCM/LPCM formats, automatically adjusts output based on recognition of input signal.
1858775
Yes! That's how I run my my Xbox One, and there are several DSPs specific to gaming through a multichannel LPCM stream.

I have last years model (605) and wondered the same thing. if you're looking for your TrueHD to light up on your receiver - it wont. Your PS3 won't send TrueHD via bitstream (to be converted by your receiver), so you won't see the light. The PS3 offers only internal decoding of this and DTS-HD, which means you'll need to send an already decoded signal (via PCM, NOT bitstream) to your receiver and run your receiver on "Direct" to play it. You'll get TrueHD sound/signal, but your receiver won't ever light up "TrueHD". You can run the "display" setting on your PS3 though which will show your outputing the TrueHD signal to your receiver. The light won't "light" up though. Info on this can be found on the net, or in your PS3 manual. Hope it helps.

It's only a two channel dac. It won't decode Dolby digital or dts. You'll have to set your player to output 2 channel PCM or buy a home theater receiver.

Yes. It worked for me. But the TV must output PCM (not Dolby Digital.) My TV's TOSLINK output is going thru a 2-way splitter. One to Soundbar and one to Sennheiser headset via Sanoxy converter.

Thank you very much!As a further clarification, I assume that when you say that I "must configure its outputs for two-channel PCM," you mean that this is a menu-driven change that I can make, each time that I encounter a 'DTS only' bluray. With my current setup, I have no problem with the audio, via an optical cable, from non-DTS blurays on the BD55K. (I have a 5 speaker setup and a subwoofer.)

Hi Son of a Zombie, Upon checking the specifications of this unit, playback for lossless compression files is not supported. Please check this manual for further details for this device: https://docs.sony.com/release/XSPN1BT.pdf. Dave

Yes it will. My new provider doesn't provide a PCM audio strean, just AC3, so I couldn't use the digital (S/PDIF or TOSLINK) outputs of my cable box to feed my Hi-Fi DAC that only has digital inputs (no analog). I used this little unit to create a digital stream from the cable box's analog output and all is now fine. No special setup required.

Did you adjust audio settings-BD audio settings to "direct"? You need to feed direct, not pcm, to the 606. I have this problem with my sony s-550, but now they are mates matched in heaven. Just finished watching Traitor: dolby trueHD, Max Payne:DTS-HDmaster audio, The Dark Knight: dolby digital blu-ray. The sound is seriously lossless like what they said.Also, have you adjusted preset listening mode in setup menu of the 606? Set Dolby TrueHD to Dolby TrueHD , and such in that sub menu?Hope this help, BTW, the 606 is the beast once that TrueHD or HD-Mastr light are up !

No it does not. S/PDIF supports the following formats: Single channel PCM (Mono) Dual channel PCM (Stereo) Compressed bitstreams up to 48Khz/16bps using AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS encoding mechanisms. Surround audio across S/PSIF can only be achieved using AC3/DTS. Multichannel PCM (most desirable) is not possible over S/PDIF but is possible over HDMI. If you wish to use your external amplifier to play games that do not have native support for AC3 (almost none on PC do as it's typically unnecessary) then you must have a soundcard that supports Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect, and an external receiver which supports decoding either one.

Dario, Sorry, but the answer is no. I just bought the BD35 and was VERY dissapointed to discover that the Dolby and DTS HD audio formats are not supported at the optical output. This is not at all clear until you look at the chart on page 8 of the BD35/BD55 manual. Dolby-EX and DTS-ES make it through, but Dolby-TrueHD, DTS-HD, and DTS-HD Master Audio do not.

yes. you need to buy "HDMI Multi-Channel PCM 5.1 7.1 Surround Audio Decoder" so you can use it for ps3 if you buy check eBay for it

How are you hooking up the rest of the channels? Via 5.1 in the motherboard? TOSLINK (digital/optical)? Explain your setup in detail and I can probably help you out.

I think that you should use the settings on the PS3 for HDMI and it states to switch it to PCM Linear in the SS360 manual. Am I correct here? I also set the surround mode to PLII MV or the DCS setting.Is there a better way to set this for surround? Not sure?

Optical cable interfaces can handle digital audio 6.1 and 7.1 but their smaller data-transfer rate (20-125 megabits per second compared to HDMI's 10.2 gigabits per second) means they can only transmit compressed audio, such as Dolby Digital, DTS or two-channel PCM. HDMI, conversely, can deliver uncompressed Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA signals

Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3. Thing is, for some reason I can't seem to get the PS3 to output dolby surround or dts. I'm running an HDMI cable from the PS3 into the HDMI 2 port on the tv. Then I'm running a fiber optic digital cable from the tv into my little mini receiver -- I have a set of Logitech THX 5.1 speakers. I can get the PCM Stereo on DVDs and BluRay discs, but not surround. I know it's not an issue from the TV to the receiver, because I still get dolby surround on TV shows that have it. I've also tried adjusting setting on the PS3. Any advice? Question for any of you on here:I have the tv, and I just got a PS3.

As far as I can tell, the cheapest options to have this work with the PS3 with true surround sound, would be something like this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item;=350193812906&ssPageName;=STRK:MEWAX:IT- With this product, you'd have to set your PS3 audio to output HDMI LPCM 5.1 44/48khzOr, if you buy a Tritton AXPro 5.1 Headset, it would come with a Dolby decoder that can output to these speakers.

there is a LPCM "bug" with this Amp. To get it to display DTS, do thisAmp Menu=> HDMI=> Pass thru=> OFFAmp Menu-> HDMI=> Control=> OFFAmp Menu=>HDMI=> Audio Out=> AMPThat should fix all your DTS problems as well as problems with PS4 sound
