DTS sounds superior to Dolby 5.1.


Not necessarily.


really?


perhaps you could provide one DVD
movie title as an example?


How about instead you visit any AV/Home theater forum and see the endless wars about this,
instead of cluttering up this one?

The fact is, to do a proper comparison, you'd have to find a movie where
you know that both DD and DTS tracks were mastered the same (same EQ), and played back
the same (matched levels in all channels) ,so that you are only comparing the encoding. And do
that listening comparison blind.

Get back to me when you'd done that. Until then, you can't necessarily say one sounds better
than the other, based on non-linear measures like bitrate, or non-controlled listening
comparisons.
