DTS or Dolby?

Dolby Digital is arguably more efficient and accurate, but many prefer DTS because it is mixed hotter, has the capability of higher bandwidth, and lacks Dolby's enforced dialnorm.

Not everyone prefers DTS, but Dolby has been around for so long because they are practically synonymous with the concept of surround sound.

For the latest codecs, I think Dolby dropped the ball...I prefer DTS Master Audio over TrueHD. Even though it is more of a resource hog, Master Audio always comes with a core 1.5mbps, so it will sound good even on standard receivers that only come equipped with S/PDIF...plus there isn't any signal attenuation.

Try Transporter 2's Master Audio track to see what it is all about (even at 1.5mbps)...put my Mackies into the red tonight when I ran them large and pumped up the clinic gunfight scene.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
