Only madshi can answer that question.
BTW you can use for instance:

eac3to INPUT stdout.w64 | ffmpeg -i - -c:a ac3 -b:a 640k -center_mixlev 0.707 - OUTPUT.ac3

That should be memorialized in the first post.

How can I deactivate libdcadec.dll in eac3to?

I prefer Arcsoft decoder.

you can force any decoder with -decodername... nero, arcsoft, sonic etc...

so just do e.g.
eac3to input.dtsma output.flac -arcsoft

If MeGUI does not support custom parameters in its own dialogs, then feed your project with a prepared intermediate result. Converter GUIs are made to support the most probable cases. Support for unusual cases is nice but not mandatory.

In Megui you can use the HD streams extractor to convert a DTS stream. MeGui uses eac3to to do the conversion. In the column "+options" you can add extra commands for eac3to. Double click in "+options column" for the given dts stream and add -arcsoft in the column. Now eac3to uses acrsoft decoder instead of the default decoder.

But I´ve to insert the +option each time?
There is no possibility to save the -arcsoft option?

(For the first I´ve copied eac3to 3.28 in MeGUI)

This is rather a question about how to use MeGUI, instead of how to use eac3to ... in contrast to encoder dialogs, the HD Stream Extractor has no preset management.

Decoding of DTH-HD MA is not bit-perfect

Hello!
It seems there is little problem with decoding DTS-HD MA. Resulted file has some offset in audio data.
How I tested this: source wav was encoded to DTS-HD MA using DTS-HD Master Audio Suite Encoder, then dtshd file decodec using eac3to (with libdcadec.dll from dcadec 0.2.0 github release), and resulted wav compared to original wav using binary comparator in foobar2000.
This problem not appears when dtshd is decoded with dcadec.exe.
Is this eac3to fault or libdcadec.dll fault?
Attached samples: source flac and dtshd created with DTS-HD Master Audio Suite Encoder.
Source (flac) , DTHS-HD MA

Thats probably the padding added by the DTS-HD Master Audio Suite. The audio is still bit-perfect, there is just a little more of it.

But decoding with dcadec.exe gives file identical to source without any offset.

Yep. There are 2 extra silence frames at begining. After cut the first 21.333 ms the output is bit-perfect.

Flac file length: 8.757s
DTS decoded file length: 8.789s
Like the DTS have 824 frames the DTS output file length is correct.

Please suply a link to the windows binary dcadec.exe used.

I decoded the dts with ffmpeg, LWlibavsource and eac3to-ArcSoft with identical output than eac3to-dcadec.

The dtshd file format written by the DTS-HD Master Suite has some metadata that instructs the decoder to cut off a few frames at the beginning. dcadec probably respects that while others do not. This isn't really the case for any other DTS-HD stream, as a stream extracted from a Blu-ray, for example, would never have such metadata.

Using:

dcadec -S DTSENC.dtshd outS.wav

(-S Don't strip padding samples for streams within DTS-HD container.)
the output is bit-identical to eac3to output.

But using the default:

dcadec DTSENC.dtshd out_.wav

the output is bit-identical to source without delay.
Seems than dcadec.exe use the delay info in initial global header of DTSENC.dtshd (recently encoded by Master Audio Suite)

Is good to know that, but is useless with standard dtshd extracted from a container.

Thanks. So this is eac3to or libdcadec.dll itself, who doesn't respect this data?
