I am trying to solve a niggle regarding DTS-HD output.
Goal
I have a Panasonic DMP-UB390. I want it to output:
Context
If I bring up the playback information on the Panny, it shows that the disc has DTS-HD MA, but it is sending the signal via HDMI Audio port as DTS only.
I tried connecting the Panasonic direct to the amp using the Video HDMI port only – still no luck: it again shows non-HD DTS is being sent.
My PC running LibreElec *does* work using passthru; I get DTS HD Master Audio lit up on the front of the amp. (I even hooked it up using same HDMI cable and same port on amp to verify the connections are not part of the problem)
My old PS3 *will* give me DTS HD Master Audio, although it didn't auto-detect it as an output format – I had to configure it manually.
Generally, I am stumped…
Options
The PS3 behaviour made me wonder if there is an issue with regards EDID (I am novice on this topic – didn’t know what EDID was until about two days ago) on the Sony amp. Therefore, I am wondering if one of these might help… HDFury Dr HDMI 4K - The Media Factory. (I am not sure how much faith to put in cheap and cheerful alternatives on Amazon).
I would prefer to avoid buying a new player or amp, hence reaching out for help.
Any advice, guidance, alternative options or experience shared would be most welcome, please.
Many thanks!

- 4K HDR on LG B7 TV (this is working – it’s connected to the player's *Video* HDMI port)
- DTS HD Master Audio to my Sony STR-DA2400 (this is the area of challenge: it is connected via the player’s *Audio* HDMI port)
