[QUOTE="naks, post: 751279, member: 15674"] So my setup is this, all hooked up on ethernet and HDMI: Universal Media Server (UMS) running on PC > PS3 > AVR So my movies/music are on the PC, and I play them via the PS3 (output in PCM). Playing DTS files has never been an issue with either NAD or Arcam, they accept the PCM stream from the PS3, and then they display 'DTS' as the format and play it as such. No such luck with the CXR, I just get loud white noise. I can only get sound if I disable the DTS stream on the UMS, it's almost as if the CXR cannot decode DTS stream if it is coming in via PCM, which I find very odd. I have changed the PS3 output to bistream, no change. it does, and I am still trying to figure out what it all does. I must say, Arcam's manual was way better, it explained all the settings in a lot of detail. CA's manual is merely 15 pages. :o no, the files play if I beef up the processing power to the UMS. My PC isn't a very powerful one, so that's the one way to make those files work. [/QUOTE]
