DTS/DD5.1
David Lee
My Sherwood amp supports both. But what are the differences? Don't think
I've ever run any DTS soundtrack though it, but I may start doing so if
there is an advantage.

Both are digital 5.1 discrete soundtracks (also capable of 6.1) but DTS
features less compression than DD and consequently is considered superior.
This is not always clearly apparent on DVD through the tendency to use half
bit-rate DTS soundtracks (768 kbps) rather then the full bit-rate.
When all's said and done a good DTS soundtrack will generally feel more
spacious and airy than a DD one, with better bass response and overall
fidelity.
Do not discount DD 5.1 though as some wonderful things can be achieved sing
the more compressed system.
DTS is nice but not essential, however if you intend watching Saving Private
Ryan DTS is a must!! :o)

world always check out the reviews as you just never know, on the whole most
dts are far better that their 5.1 counterparts but it takes much more of the
disc up, hence lord of the rings se dts will be on 2 dvd's , they could
probably have squeezed it on 1 with dd 5.
and for music discs it is IMO far better , but perhaps just more care is
taken with them.

I myself find DTS to be clearer at lower volumes than DD, but I am
totally behind Patrick in what he says about a good DD still being a
kick ass track !

You're 1005 right about low volumes though - DTS is miles better if you are
listening at "normal" tv volumes. Cranking up the power seems to reduce some
of the difference between the 2 formats but my preference is for DTS
wherever and whenever possible

Nope, DTS is the name of the company who developed the technology
afaik....Digital Theatre Systems Inc.
Dave K
read that Speilberg helped develop it though, perhaps not.
