There's nothing more I can do about it. Can you point me to a different decoder which doesn't have this problem? I'm not aware of any. So if you say eac3to can't be used as a decoder, then which DTS-HD decoder are you using instead?

That's the first time I hear about that. Can I have some more details?

Edit: Maybe you're confused by dithering? eac3to lets libav decode to floating point. For WAV/WAVs output eac3to dithers the floating decoding data down to integer. Dithering means adding random noise to the data. So it's clear that if you decode the same AC3/DTS track twice with eac3to/libav, the results will be different each time. If you want floating point WAV/WAVs files instead, use the eac3to "-full" switch. Then the files should be identical every time.
