Hi

I fully understand PCM. I was trying to simplify it as, contrary to your post, there are many threads amongst these forums where members do not distinguish the difference between a 2 channel PCM signal and a multi channel PCM signal carried over HDMI. Whilst both are LPCM there is, as I'm sure you'll agree, a difference. Such threads include questions that ask if certain amps equipped with HDMI switches (not repeaters) can support PCM - where the answer is yes but not in the context that the thread talks about. Actually the question in these threads was referring to multi channel PCM over HDMI.

I was only trying to highlight that there was a difference and hopefully ensue people understand that just because an amp supports PCM does NOT mean it will support multi channel PCM over HDMI - sometimes trying to make a fairly technical point simple means making it technically inaccurate at a higher level. If this caused confusion I appologise and thanks for pointing it out.
