Thanks for the suggestion.I suspect during the downmixing the DVD player enforces some dynamics compression (to avoid overloading the TV speakers?). I also use a pair of Pinoeer DD/DTS headphones and sometimes I found the sound to be more dynamic through the headphone than through the PCM output.
Seems like I'll need to consider adding a surround processor to do the downmixing properly.
I agree with your assessment of DD as I found DTS to sound significantly better even through my virtual surround headphones. It's a pity it is not more widely used in DVD.
