DTS Burn to CD-R Results in Stereo Playback

[colberto]

There was a similar thread on this topic but having read through it I was unable to ascertain a resolution.

 

I have two files (a .cue file...and a large DTS 5.1 WAV file) that I am trying to burn to a CD-R.  ImgBurn reads the .CUE file...and actually successfully burns to CD-R (IMG uses Audio/2352) the 21 separate tracks that make up the recording.

 

However somewhere in the process the original DTS 5.1 file when it gets chopped up and recoded onto the CD-R seems to be lacking the data that is needed to tell the playback device that there is 5.1 data in the DTS stream.  My car (Acura TL) which supports DTS sees a simple 2-channel audio CD.  I also notice that the fidelity is very compromised...distorting when full orchestration is present etc.

 

I have been reading and making coasters for the past 3-days.  I have read about perhaps the DTS WAV header that could possibly be the cause?   I did attempt to change the file extension on my .WAV to .DTS and updated the .CUE file to point to the new naming.  I burned a disc again and while I did see DTS in the ImgBurn logs....I still got the same result.
