All,
I got the chance to try out the setup as was shown above and can confirm that it does indeed work. I get the DD light on the receiver when I test the DD setting and the DTS light etc. I do only seem to be getting 2.0 on everything else. I think the receiver is automatically converting it to PLII, as I'm getting sound out of all speakers, but no indicator on the receiver display. What I'm surprised by is the visual improvement. I had everything set to pass through and game mode, but I think the receiver was adding a small bit of interference to the signal in spite of this. Text is much sharper and video is really clear. It's a noticeable improvement.
I'l have to play around a bit more to see if the trade-off of improved visuals/slightly lower audio quality is worth it until I can find a sound card that will do DD/DTS encoding. (Dolby Digital Live! is the feature I'm looking for if I understand correctly). That's not a feature EVGA is adding is it or does that require additional hardware on the card?
Not sure if I'm going to keep the card at this point (arrives tomorrow) but rest assured that no matter what I decide to do, the wife will get something nice as a thank you. She always does. Probably won't be the 2080ti FTW3 she has her eye on, but I see a Steam credit in her near future at the very least.
Thank you all
