It's often at a higher bit rate too - if that's the case for a particular disc then it's likely better quality. IMHO DTS has better transient response and if it's there, I'll always select it over DD. Dolby supports night mode which DTS doesn't so if your amp is set with night mode on, DTS will sound better!

Lossless these days tends to mean "not compressed by using a perceptual encoding algorithm to deliberately remove data". However if your source audio is 24-bit 96kHz and you down-sample to 16-bit 48kHz "lossless", you've still lost data. Whether anyone could tell the difference is a moot point since most people can't tell the difference with high-bitrate "lossy" compression either. Geoff >> Stay informed about: DTS vs Dolby

It's all perception. However, bandwidth has finally caught up and we now no longer require lossy compression... Justin. >> Stay informed about: DTS vs Dolby
