The player supports HDMI out for the raw audio stream, at least on windows. It does handle
It does transcode for certain portable devices (obviously you do then lose the multichannel audio and some quality) but I believe it can also serve up the file raw. O haven't tested it with my TV's dlna. I have my gaming / mpc computer plugged directly into the amp and tv so it's using the plex client, which it does not transcode for. I personally love Plex. It matches all my rips out of ~3TB of data, even TV downloads... Hardly any errors, and those are easy to fix. I have no problems playing back 1080p with DTS / DD. I haven't tested any remuxes with master audio, but I would be very surprised if it didn't work.
