In Reply to: HT Processors in DD/DTS - do they all sound alike? posted by daleda on April 4, 2002 at 14:18:32:
Not at all, in fact I've heard of $5000 processors sounding worse than a $1000 reciever, and vice versa.I guess it's good to look at it this way, since you are dealing with a compressed format, it is harder to discern the differences in the same way as with 2-channel material. There you are looking primarily at imaging, noise, detail, fidelity etc.
However, things like channel seperation/integration, panning speed, detail retrieval etc can all make a massive difference in the overall HT experience. The gains in fidelity may be marginal, but there are other areas where HT can excel. In fact when dealing with a compressed format, the truly "great" processors have an opportunity to make the most of every bit ( sorry for the pun, heh ) of information available.
More to the point, why are you asking this question mate? Take ur E9000ES, install V1.10, have a listen, then install V2.5.
If SOFTWARE can make such a difference, you can bet that hardware can too.
