In Reply to: DD vs. DTS posted by jac on June 25, 1999 at 17:09:42:
There is sometimes a difference between DD and DTS recordings/soundtracks. The amount of difference all depends on the master and transfer. I have found that DTS soundtracks for (some) movies sounds more distinct and clear with greater surround channel output and detail. However I can't say the same for DTS music recordings. These recordings (to my ears) sound artificial and overly surrounded, so to speak. I really can't stand DTS audio-only software.
DTS is actually not new at all. It has been around for some time but only until recently could a potential buyer gain access to the software. DTS has made several promises that it has not been able to keep. The roll-out for DTS DVDs for example was delayed significantly and to date has been slow at best. To me this demonstrates a poor marketing scheme and poor follow-through. You are correct--DTS recordings/soundtracks are limited in number. DTS decoding should not cost you any extra $$ in most main-stream low-to mid-fi components. However the DTS software WILL cost you more (compare DTS vs. DD DVDs for example). This higher price is both ridiculous and inappropriate in today's software marketplace.
Overall I do not buy DTS software. I will try my best to continue my personal boycott until the people at DTS decide to get their asses in gear and rise to challenge the market that DD has monopolized to this point.
Sorry for the long ramblings but I do feel strongly about this point. Hope this post helped you!Musical peace...
