I didn't know that, did you?. I suppose that means everybody who has up to now been playing Blue Ray discs from their PC thinking they're getting HD quality are sadly mistaken.

Did you try this solution Xonar? I'd be very interested if you did manage to get a soundcard/software solution to decode DTS Master Audio and Dolby True HD and pass it to the power amps via analog cables as I could find myself in a similar situation soon.
I note that it's actually quite an elegant solution, using the PC as the preamp and doing away with that stage at the Hi-Fi end. Of course, it's only elegant if you can get it to work, but it would help to cut down on boxes at least - and remote controls, for that matter.
