So.
After building a new htpc my receiver chooses multichannel pcm on a surround test file that should be DTS/DD.
Now I understand that multichannel is better, but since the files are like 30 sec long, and around 10-30MB each, it feels lime it's too small to contain uncompressed sound.
Now when my receiver chooses this, does it mean that the surround mix will be worse than what it was scaled down to, that is to say DTS/DD?
