Hi,
Do any of you folks know if there's a digital streaming device on the market that will transcode Dolby Digital plus to Dolby Digital? Preferably with a Toslink port.
I recently purchased a Roku Express for streaming Netflix (which I was told would do the job), together with a Musou HDMI audio extractor. However I'm only getting 2 channel PCM audio, not 5.1.
My understanding so far is that Netflix streams DD+ which my pre-amp doesn't support (only DD & DTS). I'm assuming that neither the Roku nor the Musou include the necessary codec. I'd rather not change my pre-amp as I'm very happy with the sound for both music & Blu-rays. I just need to find a solution for Netflix, but I've been unable to find anything on the market so far. I'm no expert in digital streaming, so maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction. Are there any other solutions out there?
Current config:
Roku -> Musou -> TV, connected via HDMI
Musou -> pre-amp, connected via Toslink
Result: 2 ch PCM
Blu-ray player -> Pre-amp, connected via digital coax or Toslink
Result: 5.1
Thanks
