And even with those true lossless formats, well, the difference may be very hard to hear. Still, some of us WANT them. They are THERE, so I WANT them. <BR/>You need HDMI or Multichannel cables for Lossless audio - Toslink or Coax connections are not supported. You also need a source with hardware (and if a computer: software as well) that supports the format and a Receiver or Pre/Pro that supports the formats. <BR/>My advice: Forget you ever heard about it and enjoy what you got - it's a very nice setup (depending on the speakers - don't say Bose or Klipsch, please).Thomas Steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484353849290776054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19101083.post-47709229058648426852008-01-04T12:31:00.000-05:002008-01-04T12:31:00.000-05:00I have a Mac Mini as my media center with eyeTV. I...I have a Mac Mini as my media center with eyeTV. I am running an optical audio cable from the Mac Mini to an Emotiva LMC-1 professional 7.1 AV preamplifier/processor. For video I run a DVI to HDMI cable from the Mac Mini to the 47 in LCD display. The speakers have all been calibrated with a decibel meter to work together. I am thinking of down loading HD and BlueRay movies to the computer from Netflix thereby bypassing the need for a HD DVD player but haven't tried this yet. The sound is great. Am I missing something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
