What Is The New High Definition Audio Format?

Question

Is it digital coaxial or optical audio?

Answer 1

Your question is unclear. Optical or digital coax are types of connections not audio formats. They are relatively old and are two equivalent versions (one optical and the other electrical) of the SPDIF connection (Link 1). But if you are talking about connections you may mean HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Media Interface) ... a single cable connection for high definition digital video and multichannel audio (Link 2).

Advanced audio formats (relative to DTS and Dolby Digital) include Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio used on Blu-ray or HD DVD disks.

Answer 5

When you use the "optical" or "coaxial" connection from your Blu-ray Disc (or HD-DVD) player, all of that great (uncompressed) HD audio gets "watered down" to just regular "Dolby Digital" or "DTS".

If you want your receiver to play any of the HD audio formats ("DolbyTrueHD", "DTSHD Master Audio" or "Uncompressed PCM"), then you'll have to use an HDMI cable or 6 to 8 individual RCA cables (one for EACH speaker, plus subwoofer).
