DTS HD vs DTS HD Master Audio
DTS-HD, or as it's properly know, DTS-HD Master Audio, is a form of Digital Theatre System (DTS) audio, owned by DTS, Inc. DTS-HD supports an unlimited number of surround sound channels. It supports bitrates from DTS Digital Surround up to lossless audio and can be down-mixed to 5.1CH and 2CH audio. DTS-HD Master Audio finds its audience in home theater systems by being part of the specifications of blue laser next generation formats. Blu-ray Disc has selected DTS-HD as an optional surround sound format to be included on retail titles to provide the highest quality audio. So does the Dolby TrueHD, which also the format that provides compressed lossless surround sound for blue laser formats.

Almost the same way with 5.1 channels output, but output DTS HD 7.1 need more equipment supports. An optical cable cannot handle the bandwidth necessary for the DTS-HD or TrueHD track, and thus you'd be limited to a maximum of 5.1 channels. You would have to have the audio output via HDMI 1.3 or above. HDMI 1.3 added support for the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio lossless compression formats used with Blu-ray Disc. It also supports all compressed formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS audio. HDMI 1.3 also added another feature, automatic audio syncing. This works by adjusting the audio processing times to remove lip sync problems.

1. Aurora Blu-ray Player for Mac(passthrough mode);
2. External or Internal Blu-ray Drive;
3. AMP(Amplifier) support DTS HD output;
4. Adapter/Connector if necessary;
5. HDMI 1.3 specification or later.
