Sony ubp-x700 USB LPCM question

[icyulkn]

I'm planning on purchasing the X700 blu-ray player. I want to play a movie file with dts-ma or true-hd off of a USB attached to the blu-ray. It says in the manual on page 30 that it supports Dolby Digital, LPCM, AAC, MP3 audio formats. I also have a Denon receiver that can decode dts-ma 7.1 and truehd 7.1. If I plug in the USB and play the file off of the 4k blu ray player, will it decode it to LPCM automatically? I want it lossless in 7.1. Do I have to convert the dts-ma or truehd with software to get it to LPCM?

It depends on your Sony's setting. If set to bitstream, the Denon will decode. If not, the player will decode and output in lpcm. Either way it is lossless, it is up to you to choice whether you want the player or the AVR to decode.
