to soundproof, You dont need anymore than 96khz. No BR-movie is recorded in higher kzh than 96. And to this date there are just a few that have 96khz-recording (Celine Dion - Live in Las Vegas). Most of the BR-movies is recorded in 48 khz.

to Soundproof: You said: Martin - it's down to whether BeoSystem 3 can handle the huge datastream If you feed BS3 with Multichannel PCM-sound (decoded HD-sound or lossy DD-sound) it is not a huge datastream. But, if you feed BS3 with uncoded Bitstream-signal of the new DolbyTrue-HD and DTS-HD it require HDMI 1.3 at both ends, because this is really

Moxxey, how many times should I say to you the following: Beosystem 3 DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY to decode DolbyTrue HD and DTS-HD. But it has the ability to recieve already decoded sound from the Bluray-player as Multichannel PCM. How hard is it to understand this??? /Martin

355f, I can really hear a great difference between an ordinary DD-track and DolbyTru-HD track at the same BR-movie, when I let the player do the decoding and the incoming signal to BS3 is Multichannel PCM. I have made a lot of A/B-tests between lossy-tracks (DD) and lossless-tracks (DolbyTru HD and DTS-HD). In this case I dont compare apple and pears

Raslaw, I have a question to you: How can you see the khz-output (at Multichannel PCM) at BS3/Bv7? You said that you push Menu+3. But then you should get up the "picture"-menu, or am I wrong? Please explain how you do. Regards Martin

I have talked to one B&O engineer (in Struer) who says that BS3 support and can handle 96khz/24bit and he says that it also handle Multichannel PCM. So obviosly different people at B&O says different things.

To understand what I am writing regarding this subject in this thread, please read the following links to Dolby Digitals Homepage and DTS - homepage: This two homepages will say the same thing about this issue. When you have read this two links, the only important thing to know IF BS3 will support Multichannel PCM or not. I know it support it, beacuse

When I say that "Beosystem 3 supports this", I mean that BS3 can handle decoded sound from a BR-player thru Multichannel PCM and then we will get the new HD-sound.

regarding the word "codec": What I mean with this (and other guys at other AV-forums) is a short name for the new Dolby True HD and DTS-HD sound-formats. Don´t misunderstand this expression as to be something else, like software in the BS3 or Software in the Bluray-player.

"Martin, it's not just as simple as including a software codec" Moxxey, I know that it is not just a software issue. If BS3 should be able to decode the new HD-codecs, then B&O have to change their HDMI-interface from 1.1 to 1.3a. They have to change A LOT in the software. But I still dont know why we argue about this. I am just saying
