 |
|
| Ok. I have a 5 year old DVPNS3100ES DVD player with HDMI out. I just purchased a STRDA5400ES receiver. Can I decode a DSD signal with these 2 units through HDMI, or is the DVD player outdated. I have had no luck as of yet. |

Well, the DVP-NS3100ES was quite ahead of its time. It was probably the first 'SACD player with HDMI', but not really: HDMI was implemented for DVD but not for SACD.
The user manual says on page 18: | Quote: | | Note that Super Audio CD sound is not output from the HDMI OUT jack. |
That probably means that during SACD playback only the OSD is output via HDMI.
See http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DVPNS3100ES.pdf |

| Yes, but the DSD layer in many sacd's is able to be decoded through the HDMI. This is fact. The new Sony bluerays can do it, but I don't believe the sample rate is high enough from the 3100es. I am still researching it, and, it goes with out saying tech support from sony has been far from effective. |

| The 3100 has the circuitry for decoding DSD but not for putting the signal (nor a PCM conversion) on HDMI. In other words, external decoding is not an option becuase the player simply has no way whatsoever to output any SACD audio signal via HDMI. |
