So I have been working on SPDIF Toslink and lossless audio for a few days, I keep hitting a bump in logic. I have facts that show that Toslink does 125Mbps or more, and the old standard (1983) is 3.1Mbps.
Now I read on Wiki and other websites that Toslink cannot do lossless due to bitrate restrictions, yet that is a lie in whole, next I see its copy rights, except analogue doesn't have any.
When I say analogue, I mean to decompress the audio and play it over 3-4x 3.5mm jacks, which blatantly doesn't have any protection, and is even suggested for lossless.
I have tested several bitrates, and cannot at all make even DTS-MA go above 30 ish Mbps, its standard is 24.5Mbps, well below 125Mbps.
Do anyone have better information? I can do 192Khz 32bit 2 channel PCM which is roughly 12mbps +, some of the DTS-MA rates are lower than this.
Does SPDIF carry the full stream, or just the core? And if core only why?

Same here, for Dolby Digital Plus, max rate 6Mbps.
DD+ has a variable transmission rates ranging from 96 Kbps all the way up to to 6 Mbps. As a comparison, Dolby Digital has a limit of 640 Kbps.
DD+ is transmitted via an HDMI 1.3 connection. In order to use DD+, it’s therefore important to make sure that one’s A/V receiver is equipped with an HDMI connection.
This is because the high bit rates used by DD+ can be too much for the bandwidths offered by digital or coaxial connections.

Apparently my system that does 12.228Mbps + cant do 6Mbps. Must be a joke at 1.5Mbps, which is equal to DTS core.

So DTS-X trailer, I can see the core and its the only thing being played, but what is happening in the second and third image?

All the above used the same wavs from the same source, in varying samples (48Khz, 96Khz and 192Khz).
If I play HRA vs MA, the MA sounds better and has better speaker placement, and volume.
Why is that If I get the same core with both?
