Does Audigy 1 support DVD-Audio output?
- Thread starter neokeelo

The RIAA/Sony is very dodgy when it comes to high resolution music, for some reason it's insanely more valuable than CD quality. They have taken extensive steps to disallow SACD and DVD-Audio from being ripped digitally - heck they created a new laser system from SACD.
DVD-Audio is the only one that can even be toyed with, but because of the small market and limited titles it hasn't attracted much attention from the "enthusiast" community. I believe I heard there was a way to extract DVD-Audio using a combination of programs through a bug in PowerDVD but I don't know any specifics nor would I post them here

You can, but you have to get an Audigy 2 or X-Fi card and hook up your sound card to your receiver by using the analog inputs on your receiver. You would have to use the analog inputs too if you were to buy a dvd player that supports DVD-Audio. You cannot output DVD-Audio over the SPDIF ever.
Just to ask, what kind of speakers or headphones are you going to be using? You need pretty decent gear to hear a real difference between high bitrate DTS and DVD-Audio. Just before you possibly spend money on a new player. Also be aware lower end players with DVD-Audio support tend to have little or no bass management, so the low end (frequency wise) might not be too pleasing.

To reinforce this. Denon has the Denon Link which can transport DVD-Audio (note sure about SACD) over a single cable solution digitally (the cable is basically cat5). It took alot to get the approval for Denon to be allowed to do this. I know they were trying to get SACD approval, but not sure where that ended.
DVD-Audio and SACD formats are very strict and do not approve transport over SPDIF because it has not built in DRM.
DVD-Audio will not get passed through the digital connection.
As far as I know...there is only one way to rip DVD-A, but 'DVD Audio Ripper' was pulled from the web by lawyer actions. They were pretty thorough too.
Leave it to greed and lawyers to ruin a perfectly good format.
