ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac bitstream via HDMI

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am interested in purchasing a ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac for my next HTPC built. 
I need to know if the board will allow bitstream (DTS-HD, Dolby Master..etc.) to passthrough the HDMI connector.  I don't care about the SPDIF or the analog 3.5mm... I only care if it will do via HDMI.

Since I emailed technical support the same question 3 days ago, and no reply.  I hope to get an answer here on the forum.

	There's a separate htpc forum. http://forum.asrock.com/forum_topics.asp?FID=5&title=htpcgaming-bareboneothers And from what I understand about the HDMI standard, it should support that. But I'm no pro on the topic.
