142.205.240.19

The maximum DVD transfer rate is 10.5Mbps, but due to error correction codes the maximum useable bitrate is 9.8Mbps.

And yes, I'm aware that MLP has greater capabilites than six channel 24/96. My point still stands that the primary purpose of MLP on DVD-A is to compress 6-ch 24/96 so it fits within the current DVD spec and if it can't do this without overflowing its FIFO buffer then it isn't doing lossless compression of the master.

Personally I don't see the filtering as a big issue. Whether it's a 24kHz filter to get MLP to work (as Frank suggested) or a 40kHz filter to eliminate the ultrasonic noise on DSD, they're both above the audible band so should have minimal effect on the sound.

Cheers,
Dave.
