Why no audio from Netflix?


I use a Panasonic TC-P50GT50 plasma tv and have a toslink cable running from the audio out port to my DAC which then is connected to my two channel system. I get great audio when playing Youtube but no audio when playing Netflix. Anyone know why? Is the Netflix audio stream incompatible somehow with my DAC? The DAC is a Simaudio Moon 300D.

For your information, Netflix will send audio using the "DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS" protocol if the media uses 5.1 channels.  If your device does not support this (which includes most 2-channel DACS), it will not play any audio.  Some of the movies and shows on Netflix will have 2-channel audio, which may work on a standard DAC.  That being said, Oppo 103 has an excellent Netflix interface and app!
