That is foolish for reasons discussed in the link in the first reply to you, though, briefly, one uses more data that tells the decoder how to decode, so it is not audio data, and also the way the data is selected for omission matters as much or more than how much data is omitted (both DTS and Dolby Digital are "lossy" compressed formats which throw away data, like MP3s). Also, many foolishly imagine that a larger bitrate must mean better sound. Also, I am told, DTS soundtracks are often mixed with higher levels in the surrounds, and some people like that, and will therefore select DTS as their preference.Īs for why "audiophiles" tend to prefer DTS, there is the fact that movies that have both pretty much always have good soundtracks, and so people associate DTS with good sound and not Dolby Digital. So, DTS films will pretty much always have a well recorded soundtrack (whether you listen to the DTS or DD version on the disc). With DTS, it is almost always used only on big budget, multichannel soundtracks (the one exception I can think of is the Superbit edition of From Here to Eternity, which has the original mono soundtrack on Dolby Digital, and a new multichannel mix in DTS). So if it has Dolby Digital, it tells you nothing about the sound quality it could be very poor, or spectacular. So, when you think about old films, they usually will have some sort of Dolby Digital track (very few use the PCM option) and no DTS track. DTS is almost always only on relatively new, big budget films that were recorded with good sound. Click to expand.As before, MACCA350 has responded before me, and responded well.
