You don't need Sonic anymore.

Most recent version of eac3to has been updated to not need Sonic.
libdcadec is the default now.

Quote:
eac3to v3.30 released
* libDcaDec is now default for all DTS tracks except XBR / low birate
You can even use FFMPEG just the same, as all DCAdec coding has moved to FFMPEG.

can it do DTS-MA? everything i'm reading is that it only decodes the lossy DTS Core

libDcaDec can fully decode DTS-HD MA, not just the lossy core. The further developed version in ffmpeg can even decode DTS Express.

are you sure? i compressed what i think is the DTS-MA track as well as what i'm sure is the DTS Core track (and recompressed with FLAC level 8 as i had no idea what level eac3to was using) and they ended up within 400KBytes of each other (268.4 vs 268.8MB)

edit: also, here's the spectrograph (top is DTS Core): https://imgur.com/p3Hu0hg

Code:
C:\path>eac3to c:\path\GenerationKill\Disc1\00002.m2ts .\gk-ep1_.flac -downstereo -down16

Yes, we are sure.

The lossless decode and the lossy decode can be with the same size, one exact and other not.
Much more after a -downstereo -down16.

Also the spectrograph don't say nothing.

I make many test encoding sources with DTS Master Audio and obtaining bitexact decodes with libdcadec, even better than using ArcSoft decoder with some bit rounding unexact.
