I am trying to passthrough/bitstream audio from my XTPro to denon to use denon' s DAC to see the difference(and choose the better one). I have hooked up an optical(XTPro manual it says it supports passthrough via optical only) between the two and set the relevant input source in Denon settings. In XTPro I have selected the 'DTS/Dolby TruHD/Bolby D+' in 'Digital Output' option(as instructed by XT manual).
Questions: On the Denon panel I am seeing the input signal(on the left side of the panel) as 5 channel with dts logo(in case of DTS) lighting on top. Is this what I should see in case of passthrough ? I doubt because this is what I see even if I dont use optical(i.e use HDMI for video/audio both). How do i confirm, its bit-streaming? I don't want the XTPro to decode/process the audio.
PS: I just realized, i May have posted it in wrong forum but cannot find any option to move this thread to relevant section.
