I have the Oppo BDP 95. I am running a 2.1 system.
From the OPPO Player, I have
the HDMI video sent to the Television and,
the 5.1 mixed down to two channel/Stereo by the OPPO player and coming out the Oppo's two balanced line level outputs to my 2 channel parasound stereo pre-amp.
When I first purchased the OPPO, I was told that I should always choose the two channel mix from the disc if available, since my system is 2.1. Do you agree? sounds like you are suggesting I should always choose the DTS HD.
My understanding is that PCM from the disc is best.
Which should theoretically sound better over 2 channels?
