ALL dvd players can output the DTS bitstream. The question is whether or not the preprocessor or receiver will have decoding capabilities. In the event that it doesn't, the dolby surround track will still be on the disc. That's why I'm putting it on there. On the other hand, I still don't know if the created 5.1 sound will be worth listening to. A side by side comparrison will be the judge of that. If it is, it's not like we're talking about normal 192k 5.1 audio here. A 1536k DTS stream is the lowest form of compression you can get out of a DVD and 10 times the quality of a normal mp3.
