In Reply to: But you can hear the advantages of lossless vs lossy audio. posted by oscar on August 21, 2007 at 05:12:24:
Per the Wikipedia article, far more HD DVD movies have it because TrueHD hardware support is mandatory in HD DVD, but optional in Blu-Ray. So are you sure you want to make blanket statements about one format's superiority over the other ;-)
But I'm not in a position to judge all the goodness of TrueHD audio yet because I haven't figured out what I'm going to do for the cinema sound system. Normally I'd be building something like a 5 channel EL84 single ended amp, but in this instance, BTU output is a concern: Small room, no A/C, hot Colorado summer. ICEpower amps maybe!?
I don't doubt that Pirates of the Carribean looks & sounds terrific in Blu-Ray, but I don't want to sit through that movie again to verify this! Ditto with Spiderman and most superhero movies except for Hellboy. Hellboy rocked. If I'm paying $15-30 per movie, it had better be a really GOOD movie, and I'm not just talking audio/video quality. For me, superb recordings of crummy movies is videophile hell.
