Dolby True HD vs. DTS HD

Hmmm...I always thought it was slight, I am going to do some A-B testing tonight to be sure all my settings are correct.

I'm currently decoding it through my PS3 and sending it (via HDMI) a PCM DTS HD MA or DD TD signal to a Marantz SR8001 using as a processor.

Times like this I wish I knew an audiophile personally that can help me test my system!

Don't confuse output levels with "more dynamic"! Listening to both formats the biggest difference I was able to hear came from comparing the standard DD and DTS lossy formats to DTS-MA and DD TRU-HD lossless formats. The lossless tracks have much better dynamics and channel seperation of information along with better low level detail you can hear in the background. Yes most Blu Ray discs are outputting 48khz.There are a few concert Blu Ray's that have 24/96khz. The "Akira" disc is 24/192khz! That's the one Blu Ray disc that has produced the biggest difference and the most impressive sound I've heard to date from any disc.

Stratman what is the Akira title and does amazon have it. thanks Jeff

Longhorn if your Marantz receiver doesn't decode the HD formats you won't be able to tell much of a difference. You will need to use the multichannel outputs on your Bluray player into the multichannel inputs on your Marantz to enjoy the true benefits of HD audio.
