OK I don't really bother whether it can passthrough HD audio or not, atleast for now.
But come on, this is my primary source for music- the dreaded clipping issue seems to be back after some recent firmware upgrade (must be wdtvlive_1.06.15_V).
I have read that there is an unwanted audio gain added at the output (SPDIF). Some say it is fixed, some say it still exists. May be it was fixed but I am very sure it came back after some recent firmware update. I play FLAC and it clips. I play MP3 it clips: No matter what volume I keep in my receiver, it clips (surprisingly, it does not clip while playing 5.1 audio)
I have some plans to expand my stereo setup (adding a DAC) only on the hopes that this tiny player would do justice being a good source. But it is terrifying to know that (i) the clipping issue still exists and (ii) the player down-samples the digital audio to 44khz or less.
Who shares my worries?
