Is this even plausible? The DTS-610 is advertised as accepting 6 analog inputs and encoding to DTS for receivers that lack 6 ch input.
Could a program like Sound Forge or Vegas (for example) keep up with recording that stream of data and then used to make a DTS disc?
Soundforge probably not - it's a stereo application not multichannel.
But for Vegas, Nuendo, Cubase, Sonar - all you will be doing is streaming in 6 channels at whatever rate you feed it.
24/96 x 6 channels is simple, as long as your computer has 12 inputs available via lightpipe, or 6 analogue ones at 24/96 source.
Not at all sure how you'd hook it up though, if it's squirting a DTS stream out of the other end for playback when hooked up to an amplifier with DTS decoders & digital inputs.
If you can hook up to a computer anyway, you'll be better off recording in the streams yourself - and running an analyzer to see where the ultrasonic crap starts appearing.
On some discs (Heathen, Reality) there is a sharp dropoff to almost noise floor at 23KHz from the SACD, followed by a rapid increase in ultrasonic noise up to the peak of around -18dB in level at 50KHz.
On other discs, there is no rolloff on the high end, just a gradual drop & it seems to almost crossfade into the ultrasonic noise.
(I have images showing this clearly if it would help, Tad. Just email me for examples).
Recording in manually means you can get rid of the crap.
