[SurroundSound] Re: Power DVD 10 Ultra 3D

I had a similar set up ... only with a Yamaha receiver. I think you
are indeed hearing 24/96 (not downsampled). If you're looking for the
next step, you can consider adding a processor that decodes DTS HD or
True HD, such as a NAD M15. You can then set P DVD 10 to "passthru"
the audio. The difference between analog out at 24/26 and "passthru"
is noticeably better. However, you can buy an entire new receiver with
these capabilities from Onkyo or Pioneer for a fraction of the price.

My opinion on this: the P DVD 10, Arcsoft TMT3, or Corel Win DVD all
do their own sound subsystems. They filter the audio before the X-FI
gets to do its thing. The best my X-FI ever sounded was when using
Creative's DVD Audio player in Windows XP (and later Vista).
Unfortunately, they don't make a version for Windows 7. In some ways,
KMP player sounds better for most video playback on an X-FI. It's
sound subsystem seems to let the X-FI do its thing better.

Hope this helps.
