Here is the position of minidsp dev team on this topic (from their community forum)This product is so stupid.
Why are commodity priced TV's at Walmart able to do DTS:X and Atmos decode and this expensive product cant? If it's a licensing cost issue why doesn't MiniDSP offer the decode ability as an add on, even if it's an expensive add on? This product could EASILY become everyone's favorite HTP if they just let it..
It would cannibalize the whole HTP market.
