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?


that's pretty rich. you were the one
who stated "Not necessarily."

i thought that this *moderated* forum
was supposed to focus on positive posts

so ok, here's my positive post:

of the maybe 30 or 40 DVD movies that i have
that have both DTS5.1 and DD5.1, the DTS sound
is noticeably better on every one of them

i'm still interested in *one* example
from you, where the DD5.1 is better

... or even as good

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.
