8 channel LPCM over HDMI, It's Multi Amp for Everyone

[KOON3876]

Hi Today I could play Linear PCM 7.1 channel WAV file with HDMI mobo, to DENON AVR-1908, and LINN Komponent 104 3Way active mode.

For detail please see my site.

Hi Koon.

Good to see your progress.

As far as I understand. You're generating a multichannel .wav file
which you send over HDMI.

Why not 6 seperate PCM channels?

The Denon amp is not a full digital amp, right!?!

Have you looked in building a multichannel HDMI receiver?
A dedicated multichannel HDMI receiver with I2S-out would solve a lot of problems in the DIY community.

Koon.

Ever thought about switching to Linux?

Well, HDMI multichannel support in ALSA is not exactly complete

multi channel WAV file contains 8 PCM channels inside, and each channels are syncronized.

Denon amp is not a full digital.
Just selected cheap HDMI1.3 Linear PCM 8 channel compatible.

HDMI-I2S?
HDMI receiver will require thousands $ per year just to be a member, and I don't think individual person can be a member.
=================
This is "MultiAmp for Everyone" project,
Remember I already have "FIR and Full digital multi amp" only for me, by USB2.0-I2S, and 4 Channel Full digital.

Linux:
If I can use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 on Linux, I can switch to Linux. and If package software market sales on Linux is greater than Windows, I WILL switch to Linux

I stepped over this:

Perhaps an evaluation board is the way forward.
Though it seems that they don't have all outputs accessable.
And I am also wondering if it would decode the multichannel
.wav

I just left Entropics a message to see if they offer multichannel
audio eval boards.

This has HDMI input and use TI "PurePath" all digital technology



It looks like a good poor man KoonsLabs system solution

I just need to find somebody from USA that can buy it from Amazon for $229.99 and send it to me.

Hi Thomas I think you need SA-XR700, in user's manual

"The unit is compatible with linear PCM 8-channel surround
signals decoded by the BD player and other equipment (up to
96 kHz/24 bit). See the operating instructions for equipment
used for playback."

but nothing I can find in SA-XR57 manual about linear PCM 8 channel.

[thomaseliot]

Yes, linear PCM 8-channel surround. How do you produce it from ordinary stereo wav files we already have on the PC?
