Hey Y'all:
I read the posts about the hardware DTS encoder, and there was discussion about the output of the encoder being sampled at 48 KHZ and that it would not record on some CD recorders because they did not have downsampling, and that it would work on recorders that did. So I thought HMMM, could I take an external downsampler and do the same thing? So I purchased a Behringer SRC2000 ultramatch and proceeded to experiment with down sampling my DVD player to my DTS decoder. Right away I noticed there were problems with the Behringer unit, the power switch was messed up, and when I did get it working, some of the lights didn't look right, they looked dim. Well, it didn't work, no music was heard. I did get it to pass a PCM signal that was already sampled at 44.1 KHZ, but that's not really doing anything. So now I am communicating with Behringer for a warranty repair.
I guess the question is, Has anyone tried this, and is there any reason it shouldn't work? I hope to purchase the DTS encoder and use it with the Behringer to feed my Philips CD recorder, which only accepts redbook spec data. Can DTS be effectively downsampled to 44.1 KHZ? What about DTS CDs, what is their sampling rate? Help! I'm an analog guy in a digital world!
