I am mainly thinking about this for modern sources - I haven't run a DVD player in years and years. But I do have a Roku with a Dolby Digital hardware encoder built in that is encoding anything 5.1 from Netflix/HBOMax/Amazon etc etc to Toslink to send to my somewhat older receiver. It sounds pretty damn good so I am hoping it is defaulting to the highest bitrate it can but who really knows. Have my Chromecast Audio also using Toslink which I assume is doing stereo AC3
