Hi all,
Simple one this, but seemingly a minefield. I've read articles and threads on the topic but just want to verify one thing that isn't clear.
I have just bought and connected up a PS4 to my HDTV and Yamaha RX-V677 receiver. I run a 5.1 setup.
I've connected the HDMI straight to my TV to minimise any potential latency and then audio by optical to the receiver. My options are therefore 2 channel LPCM, DTS or Dolby Digital.
I will NEVER be using the PS4 for anything other than gaming - no film, TV or Blu Ray (I have a dedicated machine for that). I also won't be upgrading to 7.1.
Am I therefore missing anything in my gaming sound by running it optical and with a lossy DD / DTS encoder? DO PS4 games support either a lossless PCM or DTS HD Master / True HD track, or is it just films that people are referring to when they say HDMI is the best audio connection?
If not I'll leave it as it is, but otherwise is it worth risking HDMI video lag (however tiny) just to get lossless audio from gaming?
Thanks
Rob
