Hi

What is the best way to play 5.1 Audio in SW player to send it to two channel integrated Amp

My current setup is like : HTPC --> Windows Media player Classic HC -> AC3 Filter -> Co-Axial Digital Out -> Burrbrown DAC -> Int Amp -> two Speakers .

In my current setup , i always feel the lack of impact espcially in the action sequence .

It was much better in my earlier system as below

HTPC -> Windows Media player Classic HC or XBMC -> DolbyDigital/DTS passthrough -> Denon AVR -> Two speakers .

Speakers are the same on both cases .

Looks like the AVR does the Decoding of DTS/Dolby and downmixing it to stero better than the SW plugin ( AC3 Filter )

Now i dont have AVR with me . Is there a better way of doing it .

I tired XBMC which is even worse compared to Windows Media player Classic HC with AC3 Filter
