In Reply to: A lossless PCM soundtrack will always be "truer to the source" than any lossy soundtrack. posted by oscar on September 5, 2007 at 20:36:36:
...and is also not always correct. As an example - I have a concert DVD that has both PCM and lossy DTS on it. The DTS soundtrack is clearly superior to the PCM soundtrack, because much more care was put into creating the DTS soundtrack. The PCM soundtrack was obviously a quick-and-dirty dump, and it sounds horrible.
