Does anyone do a PCI surround sound card decoding DTS,
Dolby etc into digital outputs ie SPDIF?
Not that I know of.

I'm looking for a N.1 decoder with N+1 SPDIF channels.
Please post whateever you find.

I am really surprised that nobody seems to do anything
like this. IMO it is the future.


I'm wondering if it is a licensing issue. IOW, maybe Dolby won't license
their technology in circuits with an external digital output.


I suspect you may be correct.
In which case it will have to be DAC/ADC in the middle.
Still, that's possible to do at around 120dB s/n with good design.
