![]() That encoded / compressed audio is sent to the receiver, and it’s the receivers responsibility to decode the audio stream. The audio is encoded or compressed (to consume less space on a Blu-ray disc). If you’re not all that familiar with audio formats, try to think of DTS or Dolby as a compressed format (much like a ZIP file). With DTS HD Master Audio, or Dolby True HD, it’s a different story. Most Atom/Ion combos for example, when hooked up to a receiver through HDMI, will have no problem sending the DTS / Dolby stream to the receiver. Most HTPC boxes support DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digitial 5.1 without much effort. Most Blu-ray discs contain either a DTS HD Master Audio, or a Dolby True HD soundtrack They’re basically the successors of the DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 coded. I hooked up the Corei3 build to my Onkyo TX SR-507 receiver via HDMI The primary goal off this writing was to get the Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio up & running. One of the biggest strengths of the Core i3, and the H55 chipset is that it also supports HDMI Audio Pass Through for Native Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreaming. However, combine the Atom with an Ion chipset and a blu-ray player, and the difference becomes a lot smaller. ![]() Obviously, it cannot compete with the power consumption of the Atom. ![]() Not only is the Core i3 platform a lot more powerful compared to the Intel Atom platform, is also maintains a fairly low power consumption. The reason being that the Core i3 chip (that combines both CPU and GPU onto one physical chip) offers more then the current Atom based platforms have to offer. When the Intel Core i3 platform was announced, it was hailed as being the holy grail for HTCP enthusiasts. Dolby Digital TrueHD - DTS HD Master Audio ![]()
