With the default settings it will probably output whatever is encoded on the DVD like 5.1 Dolby Digital. And then your audio receiver will decode that. But sometimes you can change your DVD player settings to output 5.1 LPCM or 2.0 LPCM—the latter would work with a stereo DAC with coaxial S/PDIF input.
DVD Player output
Hello,
What signal comes out from DVD Player digital OUT Coaxial? Is it whatever audio mode is chosen on DVD menu or is it just bitstream from laser reading DVD? I am thinking of connecting digital out to DAC and wonder what audio format will I get. Pure stereo or Dolby Stereo if that what is chosen on DVD menu.
What say you?
