Hi Bob,

If you set the player to internaly decode (whatever any format is) it will output LPCM.

If the player is outputting LPCM over HDMI then the HD621 will upsample & apodize when required

Std-res --> Dejitter, Upsample & Apodize --> hi-res out
Hi-res ---> Dejitter & Pass Though ----------> hi-res out


Hope this helps.
Regards,
Carl.
