thanks all for clarifying that!!!
just a few more questions:
1. does it matter who decodes (ion gpu or av receiver) in terms of sound quality? what is superior, dts or lpcm?
2. do all dts-ma consist of dtc core+other stuff? coz i was watching a movie with dts-ma 7.1, ion1 over hdmi, and the av receiver reported dts 5.1. so i presume ion decoded what it could (dts 5.1) and discarded the rest (half of bitrates...).
3. what wold happen if ion2 would decode dts-ma 7.1 but i have only 6 speakers (5.1 setup)? will it merge the 2 channels or discard them. if it discards the 2 channel, does it become a core dts 5.1 or still better quality than standard dts 5.1?
4. if hdts-ma can be decoded on ion1 (dts core), then can TrueHD be played on ion1 over hdmi like dts-ma, or it can not be broken down?
5. if ion1 can not decode, and coax option is selected in setup (lpcm), then it can support max 6 channels (5.1) and the rest 2 channels from 7.1 are discarded?
i just want to understand what is happening behind the scenes.
thanks
