Will the audio sound better if I connect my Blu-ray with digital optical Audio Cable to Home Theater receiver?
My Blu-Ray Player is already connected to my receiver via HDMI. Will it sound better if I connect a digital optical audio cable from the Blu-ray player to the receiver or would I just be wasting money buying it since it's already connected by HDMI?
Careful here - you should get identical sound with HDMI and optical using Dolby Digital.
However - Dolby Digital is compressed. BluRay disks sometimes have un-compressed tracks called "DTS-Master" and ... another term I cannot remember. These tracks are only available using an Hdmi Cable.
There are some "emperors new clothes" issues with this:
* Most people do not have highly sensitive music caliber speakers so they can hear the difference between compressed and un-compressed audio tracks
* Hollywood hates to spend money so only a few premier disks have extra attention spent on the un-compressed soundtracks.
