Basically there are 3 audio formats that are the highest quality you can get. They are more or less identical to a studio mix. Meaning exactly how the movie maker intended. They are:
In order to get this to your speakers you have to satisfy a few requirements.
-A Blu-ray/HD-dvd player that can decode uncompressed audio and send it via LPCM OR a newer reciever that can decode them, whereas the player would send a bitstream signal.
-The connection must be HDMI, no other audio cable can do it at this time and probably wont until something better comes out.
-The "source" (the BD or HD-DVD disc) has to be encoded with one of the three named audio sources above.
So basically as this poll is asking the difference between LPCM and bitstream, its asking how you send your digital signal to get the highest quality sound. Technically they should sound identical. Of course it really is hardware dependent on your setup by which components have which features.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”
