Don't know if this has ever been discussed before, but there is an old program called Mpegspdif (http://www.cs.tut.fi/~ik/mpegspdif.html for foobar. It sends the MP3 file over the s/pdif link for the receiver's DSP chip to decode it. Why would I want to decode the MP3 at the receiver? Easy, you remove all jitter/connection related problems associated with the s/pdif line.
Well, I tried this, and it works! Limitations are that it needs to be 44.1khz mp3 file, and the sound card can't resample. Receivers which can decode MP3 that I know of are:
Panasonic's XR-10
harman/kardon AVR 3500
I'll try to post more on this later. Look up your receiver's DSP chip and find out if it can decode MP3!
