A lot of movies been released lately on BR and HD DVD has having a lossless Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. I just wonder if this apply to Meridian's lossless scheme or is it only analog. If analog it can only be used with a 861with IA45 six channel input card?....
I love All Meridian Gear.

Dolby TrueHD does not use MLP as far as I know!
At present, and for the forseeable future it sounds like, the only way to get this soundtrack into 861 is via the IA45 input card. Whether the increased resolution of the TrueHD track is enogh to offset the additonal D/A-A/D conversion is anyones guess.

I thought True HD was Dolby rebadging MLP ???
Wasn't there a deal done a while back between M and Dolby?

I haven't tried this yet, but from what I read there is a worthwhile improvement from going the analog route. Mark

Is there some confusion here between MLP (a lossless compression scheme) and MHR (A way of transmitting encrypted hi def audio)?

Mark.

As per this thread : http://www.meridianunplugged.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=000948 and this interview : http://stereophile.com/interviews/906bob/index2.html comes this from Bob Stuart : "We really pushed for that—and we managed to get MLP into both specifications. Because my view was that it should be in, but also I hoped—and I still hope—that they might merge, and I wanted to be in both formats so that, when they merged, we would still be in. The specification's there, and that's what we contributed: we've done the encoders. We'll see " However, Fox seem happy in bed with Sony and have announced more titles supporting Dts-HD instead.LOSERS  ~m~
Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
