9 LEE: Thanks for the advice. However, sitting in a broken down Mondeo with three men that have wind problems is a walk in the park compared with being locked in a psychopaths damp cellar... Lee

Jandyt: My donation is in and I hope many others follow suit. I hope you have a great time and take loads of photographs (That's a point, don't you need a photographer?) Don't worry about breaking down in the fog on top of a desolate, forrested mountain, miles from civilization and where there's no signal, it's all part of the fun

I've had several bashes at stating what it is we need to know to finalise the debate, unfortunately it keeps getting sidetracked to other (nonfactual) issues!

Sorry If I appear to be labouring a point here by being overly pedantic about semantics but - We now know the BS3 supports eight channels of uncompressed 24 bit audio at 96KHz. That still leaves a slight grey area in that what the DSP can accept isn't necessarily the same as what eventually makes it to each output channel's D/A converter. Can

Razlaw: beopaul: Shortly after this thread started, I sent an email through the official B&O web site's customer service page. The response states, "I can inform you that BeoSystem 3 is capable of retrieving and processing high resolution mulitichannel PCM audio through HDMI. The maximum is 192." In short, it looks like the BS3 can

OK - the email says the BS3 can accept 192KHz PCM data, it still doesn't actually say was it does with it once it's got it. To reiterate what I posted earlier - Now back to the (slightly modified) original questions - Can the BS3 output non-compressed, full bandwidth audio data, received from a suitable player such as the PS3, on all surround

Henry: Good for you Tony I look forward to join the live prize draw this month and hopefully more members will be back from their holidays and able to be online too. On that note, I think the prize draw should be rescheduled to evenings when I am available. I can then experience not winning anything "live"

martin01: Hi soundproof, What you are writing about PCM-downconversion regarding Panasonic BD50 will also be for Sony S-500 and Sony S-550. I have read those manuals my self. So we have to be satisfied with 48 khz. But BR-titles which are mastered in 96khz will in fact sound more dynamic than BR-titles mastered in 48 kzh, even if all output from the

Now here's something you don't see every day - I am going to contradict myself and admit I was wrong and that a lot (the majority it would seem) of what is released under the TrueHD and DTS HD MA banners are not 24bit 96KHz. Indeed, buried away in the TrueHD specification is the following spec. - "Dolby TrueHD for next-generation highdefinition
