This application note will show how to create a server that will deliver true high-resolution performance. Newer Blu-ray players combine the lossy stream with the residual stream to assemble lossless high-resolution audio that is bit-for-bit true to the original recording.


These early players only have access to the lossy compressed stream and are not capable of true high-resolution audio playback. Early Blu-ray players may not fully support these formats. These lossless systems combine a lossy compressed core signal with a residual signal to create a lossless transmission system. These systems support up to 8 channels of 24-bit, 96kHz audio, or up to 6 channels of 24-bit 192 kHz audio. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD are two Blu-ray audio encoding formats that support lossless high-resolution audio. Blu-ray disks often contain high-resolution audio formats.
