After I found out that that latest iTunes 9 and Zune 4 software has bitperfect out (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f46/it...ct-out-444468/), I got the Zune HD AV Dock today (Zune HD AV Dock | Zune.net - Product Detail).
It also bitperfect out.

Here's what I did:
1) Converted the DTS WAV file to WMA Lossless.
2) Loaded the DTS WMA Lossless file onto the Zune HD.
3) Put the Zune HD on the dock.
4) Dock optical out to receiver.
5) Played the DTS WMA Lossless file on the Zune.

The receiver detected and played the DTS file without any problems.

EDIT: The volume control on the Zune has no effect on the volume of the optical out, with both the DTS file and MP3s.
Also, volume control has no effect on the HDMI out. I don't know if HDMI out is bitperfect or not because I don't have a receiver with HDMI input.
