Blu-Ray really does finally get audio right, it's like combining DVD-A
with DVD-V in high def. All three major audio formats used by the
format are high res and lossless (PCM, Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD
MA).
I'm not aware of anything on the PC that correctly decodes DTS-HD MA
(you're kind of forced to output the bitstream to your receiver)
because of this whole "Protected Audio Path" nonsense with one
exception. eac3to can extract the tracks still encoded (as .dtshd
files) but again as far as I know anything yet that plays it like
foobar will only see the embedded lossy DTS track.
My method of ripping is to use eac3to with a certain version of Total
Media Theater (TMT) which has a DTS-HD decoder eac3to can use, that
has since been modified to only work with TMT and not 3rd party apps.
Regarding 192 on my main machine I have an Asus Xonar DX2 that doesn't
handle 192 kHz files correctly via ASIO. I'm debating whether to just
downsample the few 192kHz things I have to 96 kHz.
