It didn’t matter if the downstream device could decode the higher formats – it never sent them anyway. Previously, the WD would check for DTS, and if it saw it, it would pass through DTS CORE only. As far as I’m concerned, it SHOULD list the specifics. KAD79- Yes, the detail under audio detection doesn’t list anything new.
