Re: Is component video and HD audio over HDMI possible?

I guess I might have to go LPCM for analog HD Audio. I am currently running an Auzentech Meridian (I believe) sound card, would it handle this?[/quote]
I’m running the X-Meridian, and it works almost flawlessly for this. It is very easy to set up.
However, TMT does downsample the audio from 24-bit to 16-bit. I haven’t been able to conduct testing anywhere to see if that is something where I can hear the difference. The only way to retain 24-bit audio in TMT is to bitstream to an AVR.
However #2, It looks like about half of the Blu-rays out there, maybe more are only using 16-bit sampling anyways..so for about half your movies you will get the full complete audio signal without alteration using analog.
