Nick - The G68 and 861v4 do not differentiate between DD and DTS when it comes to upsampling. The decoder applies the correct algorithm for DD or DTS and the upsampler converts the decoded 48kHz PCM to 96kHz. The upsampler has no knowledge of the original format of the source, only the number of channels. It just "sees" the PCM.
Manus - I think that data sheet confirms what we
do know, that multichannel PCM will be upsampled. However, for me, the question as to what happens with raw DD and DTS bitstreams remains open.
I'll take a look tonight as my 598 just got back from Mother with a new comms board.
I guess the point I was alluding to is that if the latest processors can decode
and upsample multichannel bitstreams, if you're not interested in DVD-A, then (all other things being equal) a 596 should do as well as a 598.
