PCH players play a lot of formats, but still there are some that are not supported like SACD, DSD, MIDI and others.

Downmixing means decoding to stereo PCM.

Please refer to the specifications of a particular model.

thanks.. and can u tell what it does't play? i guess commercial codecs? also, does downmixing by pch have an impact on audio quality?

FLAC is free and open codec and PCH does play FLAC trough SPDIF.

Why don't you feed digital audio via SPDIF/Toslink to your external DAC?

hi,

my first post so hello everyone Smile is there any NMT supporting an USB dac? i would like to plug it into a stereo amplifier with speakers, for music playback.. from what i have read so far, all NMTs go with multichannel audio, so they downmix for stereo.. also built in DACs probably have not the best audio quality. i was quite interested in the popcorn hour A300, but it apparently doesn't support USB audio.. so is anything?

thanx,
