Transporter digital connections

[bojo]

Hello!

I have a tranporter, and i have tried to connect a DVD player and a digital sattelite box to the RCA coax and Toslink inputs.
I have a Resolution audio Opus 21 Cd-player which have an digital RCA coax input. I have connected Tranporters RCA coax output to the Opus RCA coax input. The Opus 21 has an inbuilt analogue volumecontrol so i can use it as a preamp.
The output from the Opus 21 is connected to my active loudspeakers.
I have set the Transporters input to RCA coax and the output to RCA coax and tried to play a DVD film, but i can`t get no sound.
Is there anyone who know how i should it to work?

Regards
Bojo from Sweden

Try a CD instead of a DVD

Good luck

I did the same thing as you. I then learned that you cannot play DVD audio (DTS) without a DTS/AV encoder. Only AV receivers or TVs have them.

Thus, you need to run interconnects from the analog outputs on the dvd player into the analog inputs on your tv. Then, run an optical cable from the tv to the optical input on the TP. Should work perfectly, did for me.

If your dvd player is a universal player, your cureent setup should play cd audio.

Make sure your DVD outputs PCM signal to its digital output. Ususaly there's a setting for that in DVD digital audio menu - try looking for something like RAW vs. LPCM. Also, look for something called 'downmix' and make sure it's set to stereo.

Forgot to add: even whn you do all this, make sure that the 'audio' button on the remote, while watching the movie isn't set to DTS. It will usually cycle through 2.0, 5.1, maybe various languages and all that would be fine, but if there's a DTS entry, make sure you avoid it.

This is correct. Nearly all video devices have such a setting, although it goes by many different names.

My DVD player is set to PCM, and i don`t get any sound from the
digital satteltebox either.

Is it possible to connect digital sources to the Transportes digatal inputs and then connect the Transporters digital output RCA coax to my CD players input?
The reason why i want to do this is that my CD player has a very good DAC and volumecontrol.

Is it possible to use both the digital input and output at the same time?

Cool. If I understand correctly, if I select PCM (LPCM) on my dvd player, I can play the dvd audio directly from the digital outs on the dvd player to the digital ins on the TP? And, thus, I don't need to go through the tv?

Ah, I missed that part of your question. No, you can not pass through like that.

So the solution for me is to buy a separate preamplifier?

or use transporter as your DAC - that's the purpose of its digital inputs
