    DTS from Marvel G400 DVD Player?

    I'm about to buy a new computer system and will probably include the Marvel G400.

    My old P100 system has an Encore dxr2 DVD card which I've been very pleased with (except for pass-through degradation).

    I understand that the Marvel has an SPDIF out which reviews indicate can provide the AC3 Dolby Digital signal; can it also provide DTS where present? (I have a suitable amp)

    I'd be grateful for any experiences from dxr2 users who've moved to the Cinemaster DVD decoding engine as used by Matrox re quality and region-coding.

    TIA, Peter

    The Matrox DVD player doesn't detect DTS (only DD5.1) and thus doesn't pass it through to the spdif.
    You CAN use WinDVD (look at www.dvdutils.com) though, which does detect/pass-through DTS -only from version 1.2.99-(the only soft dvd player which does that as far as I know)

    I dont know if this player will work with the Marvel though...

      WinDVD 2000 only does ac3/dts with 2 soundcards - the Aureal Vortex2 8830 or the SBLive!

      Buy one of these and add it to the Marvel.
