I was just playing the DVD Brian Wilson & friends, whilst watching/listening to what transpired was Dolby stereo 2.0. on my Blu-ray Player a Sony 4K BDP S6700 via the Caiman SEG50
Whilst holding the remote in my nurtled grasp, I inadvertently pressed the audio button & up came "LPCM English" I had to scuttle to the other end of the room to turn down the volume, then listened going back & forth twixt the 2 modes, what I heard from LPCM was astounding quality music with incredible detail, smooth & worked with the male & female voices, bass, treble & mids. It seemed to be making the most of my recent RFI/EMI 50hz hum removal. I spent 2 hours swapping modes again. The ambiance etc rivalled my best vinyl.
I looked at Google for LPCM to find it is a step up from Pulse Code Modulation ie the L means linear & is a lossless format. apparently compulsory on Blue-Ray DVD's though BW & F's is not a Blue-Ray DVD. Scanning my collection, I only have a couple of non Blue-Ray DVD's listing LPCM.
Is this the standard to be expected from streaming, if so is there anyway to stream without paying to down load, if so what equipment would I need to feed into my Caiman SEG 50 presumably via it's USB-B connector.
Addendum
I am listening after a month or 2 to the Floyd Blue-Ray The Endless River DVD, I am preferring English LCPM HD Master Audio 2.0chn 96/24 4.6mbs to Dolby DTS HD Master Audio 96khz 5.1 or LPCM 96/24 5.1 @ 13.8mbps.
