I have some DVD-audio discs which will only play back in my new Sony surround receiver in DTS (5.1) mode. I found out too late that the bandwith for digital audio is cut off at 96khz sampling rate/48khz freq. range. This is for anti-piracy reasons. Problem is, some of my DVD-A's only contain the 192khz tracks & my older JVC DVD-a player with analogue 5.1 jacks will not interface with my new Sony like it did w/ my old Sony (which had the analogue 5.1 inputs).
My new Sony does have HDMI inputs. Can DVD-A be transmitted over this connection? If so, is there a DVD-A player out there with HDMI outputs? If not, is there a PC solution for this?
