JasonJCarney Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just got my first glimpse of the Onkyo reading Dolby True HD. I have only seen DTS so far. Didn't notice any difference but was kinda cool to read it. Anyone see " I spit on your grave"? When the bird hits the door in the middle of the night my left surround pounded so loud I jumped!

Magneto_Plasmoid Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Bladerunner one of my favourite movies, is encoded in Dolby True HD and it's a very immersive, very detailed soundtrack. It's true you don't see too many TrueHD soundtracks around but the ones I have heard, like Bladerunner, are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockOn4Klipsch Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I think the differences are subtle but noticeable in the lossless formats, a little more air or space around instruments and tones. "I spit on your grave" was a pretty brutal movie, the one scene there at the beginning was a little long and uncomfortable so it was nice to see her get some payback.

JasonJCarney Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yeah.... Won't b reccomending that movie to my wife or sister that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjennings2510 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yeah I think the Sherrif got it the worst at the end of the movie....whew where she put that shotgun had to hurt! But yeah I'm not sure what determines the "popular" encoding formats.....bc for DVD DTS sounded better than Dolby but yet it was very rare.....now on Blu Ray they both sound about the same but DTS is the one on most Blu-Rays....I'm surprised that they don't have both on Blu-Rays now since they have up to 50gb of capacity on the disc. Nonetheless this generation it doesn't matter bc they both sound great! The only time I get pissed is when I don't read the Blu Ray specs and get home....and discover that the audio track is Dolby Digital! The last movie that surprised me with lossy sound was the Punisher..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbope Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Based on my Blu-ray library which is admittedly quite small, maybe a dozen give or take, DTS MasterHD accounts for roughly 90% compared to Dolby TrueHD. I actually went Blu-ray mainly for the audio, not the picture. The lossless formats are just more defined and enveloping than lossy. I don't hear a big difference between the lossless formats, but then again there are few TrueHD to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
