DTS 5.1 FLAC won't play on my new Mede8er media player ????

[Jaap7]

Hi,

I have bought a Mede8er MED1000X3D media player and am having issues playing DTS FLAC extracted from DTS CD's and DVD's. FLAC 5.1 files (such as extracted from DVD-A or SACD) play fine via my Onkyo amp and the HDMI output from the Mede8er is set to passthrough.

This is the Media Info for the DTS FLAC that produces white noise :

Format/Info : Free Lossless Audio Codec
Duration : 3mn 58s
Bit rate mode : Variable
Bit rate : 1 262 Kbps

Bit depth : 16 bits
Stream size : 35.8 MiB (100%)
Writing library : libFLAC 1.2.1 (UTC 2007-09-17)


Both types of file play back perfectly via my Oppo blu ray play so I am guessing that even though I am sending bitstream to the amp using the Mede8er there is some problem with the DTS decoding to 5.1 ???

Any idea what format I can convert the files to which will preserve the 5.1 channels ? Preferably not WAV due to the metadata limitations.

Many thanks, hope I have explained myself properly :smile2:

It is possible the player is not bit perfect and that it changes the stream so it cannot be decoded.
