Hi @amirm, to my knowledge, those av receivers use Dolby and DTS technology to decode the signal so that we could mainly hear the dialogue from the center speaker and the background from the main speakers. When I saw a lot of pro audio interface claim the surround monitoring(for example 5.1), I thought they are not for music but for movie audio. But I saw this article https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/ap...7-creating-a-high-resolution-5-1-music-server
I am not sure if I understand correctly, Benchmark did not talk Dolby or DTS decoding in their setup and only focus on music, it looks like to me as long as the 5 speakers and the subwoofer are placed correctly, we will get a decent surrounding music with several good dacs. There’s no need of so-called Dolby or DTS HD to enjoy the surrounding music. Am I right?
And one more question, with benchmark’s setup or use any pro multichannel interface, does our pc have some kind of software that could decode the DTS or Dolby so that we get a much better AV receiver to watch movies? Thanks
