Re: Is DTS important?


The follow information is based purely on hearsay, gobbledygook and similar detritus..

My understanding is that DD is what the director/sound engineer/etc want as the official sound mixing for the movie/DVD. The DTS tracks are usually created without all of the input from the people listed and are usually created to make the sound more "dramatic".

I haven't done an A/B comparison for a long time to see where the differences are, but I will choose DTS when the mood strikes me.. particularly when watching some action flick.

For straight sound, my understanding is that the two compression schemes are pretty identical.
