Turtle beach montego ddl review11/10/2023 ![]() :/ I must say, between their lack of support for Vista (which they promise to rectify), and this lack of passthrough, which makes the SPDIF-in useless to me, I'm really not happy with my Montego purchase.Montego DDL combines cutting-edge technology, audiophile sonic-quality and an unprecedented array of features to deliver PC audio performance normally reserved for the finest home audio equipment. I guess I'll be using a dumb combiner after all, if I want surround from my 360. quote:I'm sorry, I'm not terribly familiar with audio tech, so I may be getting redundant.Is there any setting on the XBox 360 that will let it send the kind of audio the Montego can support in passthrough? quote:I'm not sure, but maybe "Stereo" or "2 Channel"?Maybe someone at Microsoft would know? And that is the end. These audiointerfaces are meant for professional audio content production, costbetween a few hundred and two-thousand dollars, and are beyond the scopeof products developed for consumer use by Turtle Beach. Tothe best of my knowledge, no *consumer-level* (inexpensive, easy to use)soundcards with S/PDIF In will accept AC3-encoded audio into theircircuits.Some (but not all) pro audio interfaces with optical S/PDIF In may beable to accept AC3-encoded data at their digital inputs. The Montego DDL's Digital Out WILL passAC3-encoded audio data through its S/PDIF Out."AC3 Pass-Through" DOES NOT include accepting a DD/DTS-encoded signal atthe S/PDIF In and sending it out, unaltered, through the S/PDIF Out. This is to differentiate from a S/PDIF Out that will onlypass PCM-encoded audio data. The AC3(DD/DTS-encoded audio data) is "passed through" to the DD/DTS decoderfor decoding. quote:"AC3 Pass-Through" is when an AC3-encoded digital signal is transmittedfrom a DVD Movie disc, out through the S/PDIF Out, and to a playbackdevice with a Digital In and Dolby Digital Decoder. quote:Does that mean that the Montego does not support Passthrough? If so, is there any way to "daisy chain" with the Montego? My home theatre only has one optical in. ![]() It was copied accidentally from another product. quote:Thank you for pointing this out to us. I have directly communicated with Turtle Beach, and this is what I have. In case anyone else was wondering, that link from Turtle Beach is wrong. ![]()
