SACD / DTS-Audio CD - SPDIF output

[FBi007]

Hi,

the problem was discussed some times ago, but the problem is still there. Eventually the problem is solved, but i haven't found it ;)

I use nVidia nForce2 onboard sound with an Denon AVR 1603 DTS Receiver.

I tested different programs and plugins such as WinDVD7, PowerDVD6, Winamp 5.23 with dts plugins, MediaPlayerClassic 6.4.9.0. The AC3 Filter 0.70b is installed and siwtched to SPDIF. I have tried the waveout fix (without rebooting).

I have no problem to playback any files with dolby digital 5.1 (AVI, Music, DVD). DVDs with dts work also fine.

Now it comes to DTS-Audio CD (e.g. the Metallica - Black Album). It works with PowerDVD and WinDVD in Stereo mode. When i switch to SPDIF there is only silence in both players. But the Player info says, that the DTS sound is playing. The only problem is that it seems not to get out of my soundcard through SPDIF.

What can i try to get these DTS-Audio CDs running?

Is there a possibility to rip the tracks of the CD to single DTS files?

Thanks in advance.

greetings

Hiho,

did you already tried this solution mentioned in the MediaPlayerClassic help? :rolleyes:

DTS in 48KHz? not without reencoding them :(

Hello,

thank you for your suggestions.

Yes, i have tried the option SPDIF.

The KMPlayer also doesn't solve the problem.

There is no sound.

It seems, that there is a good DTS-Audio decoder missing in the windows system. Strangly the DTS sound of Video-DVDs works fine.



With the extraction of the files, i mean if it's possible to extract the 48khz DTS CD to single 48khz DTS files with the same content, just in single files per song.

Again, you´re using a DTS-CD as source -> so your sound file is in 44.1 KHz.
If you want 48 KHz DTS files you have to decode the DTS-WAV source in WAV (uncompressed), upsample to 48 KHz then encode it again. glaubs mir :(

For splitting the DTS-WAV use the CUE Splitter (http://www.enfis.it/details.php?id=42), works fine for me :p

Hi,

cue splitter won't work for my nrg files. Aber danke trotzdem für den Tip ;)

I saved the single audio tracks in 48khz with CDRWin 4.0a, it works.

They are still not playable in dts on PC. They work fine on DVD player.

My next question is: Is it possible to burn 5-6 audiocds (e.g. 100 audio tracks) on a dvd+r in a way that the DVD+R is playable in the DVD player as DTS-Audio Disc? :confused:

Hi,

sure, you have to mount your NRG file with f.e. the Nero ImageDrive or some gimicks like Damon tools or Alcohol. Then use EAC to rip the CUE + (DTS)WAV as image from your virtual drive (BTW EAC can do this track by track, too)

that´s funny, what does CDRWin do, a upsampling? Have tested if those WAVs are really 48KHz?

sure as DVD-Video with dummy video a track but leads us back to the problem that your source must be a 48 KHz sound track in DTS or AC3. There is no methode to convert a 44.1KHz encoded track into a 48 KHz encoded track.
The only thing I can offer you my friend is to decode the DTSWAV into uncompressed PCM then after upsamping to 48 KHz encoding to DTS or AC3. There are some free encoder for AC3 around, maybe the best solution for your project, the files a definitvely smaller at 448 Kbit/s than at DTS with at least 768 Kbit/s.
For the authoring of the DVD-Video I would advice DVDLab which offers a special audio mode for this!

BTW:
SACD as in the headline mentioned is something totally diffrent :confused:
