>Well, do this, listen to Gladiator at -3dB on the surrounds level for DTS, then listen to the DD track at +3dB on the surrounds level. All of a sudden most (if not all) the differences you perceived will be gone.Been there, done that...
Matched the sound levels with a SPL meter a long time back. The differences did NOT disappear. It wasn't much of a revelation, however. More compression equates to more lost information. Increase the compression on a jpeg image and your picture looks more lowsy.
Interestingly, the differences were much more pronounced on my mid-fi and entry-level hi-end systems. The differences are still apparent on my high-resolution system, but the "gap" in performance is much narrower. Discovered that DD is a lot better than I thought. Still not up to par with DTS, but still better than I thought previously.
If your hearing is good, your equipment is good, and you're not trying to convince yourself there's no difference, you should head over to the tweaker's asylum for guidance. Your system is likely masking the "superiority" of DTS (assuming more detail and realism is a good thing to you).
PS I'm must be really bored to answer this post. kotches, do you work for Dolby?
