When a DVD offers a DTS 5.1 option I always choose it. My NAD pre/pro converts this to 6.1 (which I achieve using a phantom center and a phantom rear center). A couple of recent DVDs offer a third choice (actually it's the default if you don't do anything) labeled "Optimized for DVD sound; no equalization necessary". Based on the limited A/B testing I have done this seems to sound even better (sweeter, more ambiance) than DTS.
Follow Ups:
and what does it say?My Rotel will show whether it's getting a DD or DTS signal, I don't think I have ran into the third choice yet. I do also pick DTS when availible.
I haven't checked what the pre/pro shows when the home theatewr mix is chosen. One of the the two DVDs which has this new mix is "The bridge of San Kuis Rey". The other I can't recall.
The other one is "11:14". Both are from New Line cinema.
jk
I believe thast New Line Cinema is the only company doing this at present.
