Eric,
if the dolby dts out is good, my question is how would a flac file sound out to my dac? I need to do more research. I wonder what the jitter numbers look like, anyone know?
thx
Well, you know what they say... Garbage in... Garbage out...
That being said... All my recordings well, 95% of are VBR MP3's. Because the built in DAC's on a Media Tank are so bad, I never kept it hooked up to the Analog side of it. So, honestly, I don't know if a flac format would sound better. Then again, it was a long time ago, maybe WD is putting in better DAC's but I highly doubt it. Most people are bypassing the DAC's and using amps with digital fiber ports since most movies are encoded with Dolby or DTS ... I have some quadraphonic stuff that's been converted into DTS as well. But at any rate, the only people that plug in the RCA Audio jacks would be folks just plugging in TV Audio and it's fine for that. You would never plug RCA audio straight out for a high end amp.
