Thomas,
I know that Dolby digital streams, even if masqueraded as PCM, are broken when passed through KMixer. this however does not mean that genuine PCM streams are necessarily altered by KMixer.

Somehow that is not the case for any of the tests that I have ever done or for that matter anyone who has ever tried this before Elias. Maybe the DAC1 is doing something very special? This is really a very simple test if you have a surround decoder. Just judge for yourself. Cheers Thomas |
