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!!!

That whole "The drums are sounding behind my head" thing.

That does not apply to the Dave Matthews or the John Mayer BluRays or, imho, to any decent HD MCH recording.

Also, while you may be delighting in the perceived resolution superiority of your 2channel system, you are giving all the superior spatial resolution of the MCH recording.
