In Reply to: DTS vs Dolby Digital for DVD-A music. Newbie Questions. posted by AbeCollins on February 28, 2004 at 13:19:54:
DTS is better because its uncompressed, DD is compressed. so the quality is very different. Its unfortunate that many movie title that have great potential like new action movies are done only in DD. Its all a cost thing DD is cheaper to produce because it uses an older process and less DVD space. If you want to learn more go to the dolby website and you will know everything.Oh, never use separate 5.1 cable from your dvd player not only does it limit your format compatibility it also uses the DVD players DA converter and then gets sent through analog inerconnects. Digital is uncuroupted and then converted in the reciever which has a superior DA converter. The diference is unbelievable.

"Oh, never use separate 5.1 cable from your dvd player not only does it limit your format compatibility it also uses the DVD players DA converter and then gets sent through analog inerconnects. Digital is uncuroupted and then converted in the reciever which has a superior DA converter."First, there's no certainty that the DACs in any given receiver are superior to the DACs in any given player. Could go either way depending on the specific choices. How many receivers out there have better DACs than the ones in the Meridian Ref800 or Linn Unidisk 1.1 players?
Second, there is, as yet, no way to get a full-spectrum, multichannel DVD-A output from the digital jack of your player unless you own the afore-mentioned Meridian (or some other player with a proprietary interface). You are stuck with only DD or DTS from that digital jack.
"The diference is unbelievable."
Mebbe. Mebbe not. For DD/DTS, the digital output is probably more effective in many cases. For real DVD-A, a superior format, it simply doesn't work.
