Title: Dune HD Pro 4K Plus II - Passthrough audio
Post by: mianluso on December 31, 2020, 10:06:41 AM

Hello
Have you tried playing audio files in RAW mode (passthrough)?
it doesn't work for me .. They are always converted to PCM
I have tried it with files FLAC and SACD (stereo DSF)
Thanks

DSD output via HDMI is NOT supported by this or any other media player.
Be happy that it supports MCH DSD => PCM as it is the first player capable doing that.

FLAC are PCM files by nature! I don't know if HD Audio FLAC files are passed RAW? 24 bit at 96/192 etc.
With matching drivers that can work for sure.

Using a Zidoo for that myself but that reduces 24-bit to 16-bit as-is today. Promised to be solved by Zidoo!

Thanks for answering
I remember when Dune when I announced this mediacenter said that the audio formats in stereo would have passtrough included SACD.
The multichannel SACD formats said it was encoded to PCM.
Currently the Dune website has removed this feature.
I can be wrong
