Isn't DTS just a digital audio compression format that is used to transfer more than 2 channels through an interface that normally supports only stereo? Do you need that?

 

[Always_Winter]

not sure on that

What speakers are you using with it?

No, DTS is an ancient fully multichannel codec.
This looks to just convert to DTS for output over S/PDIF. Pointless because you're likely not going to be hooked up to a DTS receiver, and even if you were it would be better to just use LPCM.

2 channel. I doubt you would notice a difference either way.
