KhornKerry Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 DTS is compressed less than DD and in theory should sound more natural. I have switched between DD and DTS many times while watching a movie or concert and have found that the volume is usually less on DTS that on DD. I prefer DTS over DD and try to purchase DTS when available. This web site might be of some help. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/specsformats/dts_vs_dolbydigital.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfogg Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 "DTS is compressed less than DD and in theory should sound more natural." That really means little besides in DTS marketing. It all depends on the quality of the encoder doing the compression. Try different MP3 encoders for example. You will find that some can sound better then others even at lower bit rates. Ditto for the different types of compression used for portable audio. And don't forget DTS on DVDs typically runs at half the original data rate it did when it first came out on LDs and Music Disc. Even at full data rate way back then when tested blind against DD (at less then 1/4 the data rate) most couldn't reliabily tell them apart.
