Re: Do I really need DTS ?

63.52.170.51

DD (Dolby Digital) is 3 year old technology and is on its way out. Almost all just DD receivers are last years stock at this point. It all boils down to how critical you are with HT and how critical you think you may become until you can afford another receiver. You can get buy with an older model DD if HT separation is not important to you. If you plan to use a center channel, 2 fronts and 2 rears or more you will notice a difference on most new recordings with DDS. If you just plan on using VHS recordings and not DVD for the next couple of years you can probably get by. This is especially true if you have never even had a DD receiver yet. I recommended the Onkyo 575X down in your lower posting and I still think it is your best investment for future compatibility etc. Hope this helps.
