I'm interested in using something like a Sony MDS-B5 radio spot player to stream 5.1 surround DTS and AC3 files out a digital port for decoding to baseband in an external box. I've done this tons of times with a 360 Systems Instant Replay, so I know as long as a 16-bit PCM 44.1 kHz file can be recorded and streamed out an AES or S/PDIF port as bit accurate, this will work. I've looked in the on-line manuals for the MDS-B5, but don't see if it's possible to disable ATRAC and record or import an uncompressed PCM stream on this unit. Has anyone tried this? Also, I'v been looking for the Hi-MD version of a radio spot player, but haven't found one yet. Does that exist yet? Thanks...
