DOLBY HD Master Audio VS CD? What sounds better?

I thought I would start this to see what people are hearing. Those that have a 2channel music system at home and those who ALSO have a multichannel system. Or even a "hybrid" of some sorts. I've noticed some amazing detail from a few Dolby Digital HD concert DVD's. Most noteably Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Heart. The John Mayer is on CD and will sound fantastic on a ultimate 2 channel set up and I really enjoy it! However the Blu-ray version.... besides the visual effects.... how much more are we gaining OR! loosing with Dolby Digital HD (or DTS Master Audio). I'm interested to hear what people think!!!

Well here at my store we've noticed a huge improvement with some Blu-ray Movies, and back and forth at using the AVR or using a Ultra end Blu-Ray (Which most are still crap) to do the digital auido decoding. The results are amazing either way. But what we really noticed is how well the concerts that I mentioned are heavly steered twords 2channel. Eventhough the rears give some effects of crowd or the concert hall delay (at the appropriate times) it becomes much more emotional. I was just curious to see what the awareness was of this. Hey I love my 2channel music system as much as the next guy (or more). But The HD audio format has my full attention. I'm more that blown away by it.
