DTS!

216.228.131.78

DTS is the better format, and here's why.

Dolby digital is a compressed format. The front and center channels are full range, but the surround (and very important) channel are bandwidth limited, somewhere in the order of 50-15k Hz or so. DTS's channels are ALL full range, and the encoding scheme is of somewhat higher resolution. If you have the ability to play DTS, DO IT! You'll be amazed at the difference. The only drawback to DTS is that many discs are not encoded in that format, and since DTS is an uncompressed full range track, it takes up a huge amount of space on the DVD. Many early DTS DVD's did not include any special features, or even Dolby Digital for this reason. Cheers!
