Sorry to bring this up, but I'm suprised that Toslink
can't carry TrueHD. It must be due to the design somehow.
A fibre optic cable of that size can carry a much higher
bitrate than needed in itself. It must be something to
due with the design of the interface itself. Perhaps
someone can elaborate more?
It is my understanding that you need at least HDMI 1.3 to send across an undecoded bitstream for external decoding for the HD audio formats. I have read this in other forums as well as Wikpedia. Bu I have been told not to rely on Wikpedia. So maybe someone else cay confirm or deny my assumption.
