Quote: Unfortunately the shop page seams misleading. The dune homepage (dune-hd.com) says for the smart h1 "HD audio support: pass-through and decoding (stereo downmix) of Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD MA audiotracks (Blu-ray), pass-through of multichannel LPCM audiotracks (Blu-ray, TS, MKV)...

Quote: Regarding blue-ray players you are right. Mediaplayers like Dune dont have Cinavia, only new ones with an inbuilt blue-ray drive. So on newer mediaplayers you can play your ripped files. The new Dune hd 3d plays all files, also 3d blue-ray isos. It decodes surround audio to...

  Quote:   Darinf is right, the only player that decodes and outputs audio to multi channel LPCM are the highend Dunes (not the compact ones). New is the Dune base 3d. They still have problems with DTS Master (not True HD), this should be fixed soon. I bought the player some weeks...

Quote: I have the same problem with my Harman Kardon 260, -no selective mute. I got a simple cheap speaker switch.   Now I can manually switch the stereo speakers off when I listen to the realiser (analog connected).

Quote (where the heck is the quote-button?): Depends on your setup, but in my case I have the L/R main outputs of the Realiser going to the L/R inputs of a 2.1 Altec-Lansing speaker system for just exactly this same purpose.  And you also need to be using analog inputs (specifically L/R) for...

Is it possible to connect small active speakers (e.g. Audioengine2) to the realiser outputs? Sometimes (seldom) i want to watch digital TV without headphones. I have the Audioengines2 connected to a logitech squeezebox, -perfect sound.

Quote: Dear dsperber, I apologize. Unfortunately you are right. The avr output is 2channel stereo. I just edited my original post. It was too good to be true. I intend to keep the Harman Kardon 260. I have connected the Realiser to the multich. analog outputs of the HK 260. This works...

Since the realiser has no dts etc. decoder, decoding must be done by the avr. I  have no reference in the manual, -but it works. The blurayplayer and the mediastreamer are connected by hdmi with the avr. From the avr hdmi-out the realiser is connected by a hdmi cabel. From the realiser hdmi out...

BIG BIG SURPRICE! I just got my new Harman Kardon 260 avr. I bought it because it has analog multich. outputs. Much better! It puts out PCM on HDMI! Edit: Unfortunately the output is only 2chanel pcm (I just realised the "exit" button on the realiser remote). I think its the only...

Instead of fiddling with a HDMI-switch I ordered a new avr, -a Harman Kardon 260. Its quite cheap at Amazon in Germany. Its a new 2010 model and has multichanel pre-outs. No newer avr has those anymore, -perhaps anti-piracy? With the Harman I can connect the realiser analog, -that should be...

Unfortunatly my Denon 2322 has no analog multichanel out. My thougt was: 1. connect the blurayplayer via hdmi to the realiser (and hdmi video througpass the realiser to the beamer - works with my setup). 2. connect the dune hd analog multichanel to the realiser and for video via hdmi to the...

I think a HDMI switch is too much hazzle. An other idea, - the dune hd has 7.1 analog outputs. Would it be possible to connect the dune analog and the blurayplayer by HDMI to the realiser?

I have a lot of movies on my homeserver. Therefor I intend to replace my pocorn hour (no PCM on HDMI) with a Dune hd. Is there another mediaplayer delivering PCM on HDMI? I want to get a HDMI matrix switch to connect the blurayplayer and the dune hd to the realiser. Would this work? I know...

I just recieved my Realiser HDMI. As suspected my Denon 2312 av-reciever does not output PCM on HDMI. With the blurayplayer connected into the Realiser its o.k. But I want to use a av-reciever for all my sources. Is there any av-reciever that puts out PCM on HDMI?

Am I right, you can only do a PRIR with a reciever with 7.1 or 5.1 inputs? So I would have to get e.g. an Onkyo 709 to do a PRIR at home.
