@honai,

I have been successful at converting TrueHD files to 6 mono waves using using eac3to and my EAC3toGUI program.

I use eac3to/EAC3toGUI to convert the TrueHD track (in an EVO) to wav file. I then use tranzcode to convert the multichannel wav file to 6 mono waves and the use surcode DTS to convert the mono waves to DTS.

Once I finish fixing bugs and adding features to EAC3toGUI, I will tackle a one click utility (using madshi's eac3to, EAC3toGUI, tranzcode and surcode DTS) to do this.

By the way on my system - Krell processor, Pass Labs amps and B&W Nautilus 802 speakers - I can easily tell the difference between high rate Dolby digital (640kbps) and DTS (1536kbps), with DTS sounding better.

since I have eschewed analog out for the time being, I can not comment on the sound quaility of TrueHD vs other similar formats.
