Hi-Def Audio PCM 5.1/Regular CD player.

[SlyFly]

As per subject title. For those who are confused with the coin-phrase "hi-def audio" .. PCM sound 2 Channel is a regular 1983 cd player at 16 bit quality at 44.1khz/48khz.

so put your confusion to the side and realize that 6/7 channels of uncompressed 6/7 channel audio on most blu-disc is 16 bit 48khz sound quality/ cd-quality sound.

There is no high-def audio until you put in an hd-disc that has 20 bit 96khz sound and above.

the only component is that some cd players can only play 2 channel sound where a SACD/HDCD or blu-disc player can play multi-channel film soundtracks at "cd-quality" sound.

so put your ps3 away and realize with only your analog inputs your 7.1 analog only 2 channel digital SPDIF input will do you no good for 6 channel digital audio uncompressed playback.

Unless of course you have an HDMI audio receiver.


Thank you and have a nice day.
