Hi,
I was wondering will OS X ever support DTS-MA and TRUE-HD? I asking this because i want to setup a Mac Mini as HTPC with Plex. No support for DTS-MA and TRUE-HD is to my knowledge a OS X limitation. Can somone answer this question? Thank you.
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Depending on the model of Mac, it can also be a hardware
limitation as these formats require a "protected" audio
path which may not be supported by the video chips.
Also, DTS-MA and TRUE-HD are tightly licensed technologies.
So unfortunately, freeware like PLEX, XBMC, etc. will not
have the codecs to decode these tracks to PCM. And even
on PC platforms, pasthrough support for these technologies
is only available on a limited number of video cards using these
media managers.
Thank you for your reply!
I only need passthrough because my receiver will decode the DTS-MA or TRUE-HD track. I have a confirmation that a Mac-Mini (2011) running Windows 7 and Plex in bootcamp can do this but i like Mac OS X and want to see this feature also on Mac OS X.
