I think I understand, but tell me if I'm missing something . . .
Any DTS-encoded disc (CD, LD, DVD) needs a decoder to permit playback. In the case of CD players and LD players, this would require the digital output of the player to be fed into a surround processor with DTS decoding. In the case of some later generation DVD players (which have onboard decoding) you could get away with feeding it out of the 5.1 analog outputs, although feeding it from the player's digital output to a properly-equipped surround decoder remains an option. It's the latter that I intend on doing.
My question really had to do with the process by which I would now be able to listen to a quad recording in DTS. "Theoretically," that means that an analog version was then digitized into DTS, permitting the subsequent playback without any of the decoding equipment that one would need to play the original quad recording.
In other words, all I need is the same setup that I need (and have) to play any DTS-encoded disc.
Is this right?
Thanks,
Nick
