In Reply to: DTS vs. DD: Shouldn't DTS sound better? posted by sjt78 on January 6, 2005 at 10:15:50:
I generally prefer DTS over DD and this is especially true with concert DVD's. DD channels through my speakers sound too distinct and 'disjointed' for music while with DTS I get a better enveloping surround that is more 'seemless'. Hard to describe but I do prefer DTS and this was with my Denon DVD-2900 before I sold it and with my present Denon DVD-5900.

Follow Ups:
I have not heard a different in front channel quality per se. What I do hear as a big difference is say on a street scene, dts has a continuous enveloping sound like reality. All channels are heard simultaneously. DD rear channels sound more like occasional sound effects (a plane flying from front to back or whatever), but does not have the continuous soundfield like reality.
I think you described it very well. I never paid close attention to DTS vs DD for movies but could never warm up to DD for concert DVD's. I've always preferred DTS as the entire presentation just sounded more natural.
