Re: Audiophile level DD/DTS?

DD/dts use acoustic modeling to determine data to throwout before the signal is encoded in effort to save space, which is not good for music but in the home theater environment of dialog and explosions it seems to work. The system also uses variable bit levels to encode demanding sound at a higher temporary level. dts 24/96 encoding attempts to put 24 bits on the disc but suffers the same acoustic modeling to throwout data for space sake.
The mega buck players like meridian and i believe krell use their own decoding software as opposed to almost all mfg's that use someone elses (analog devices, motorola), so they could possible squeeze the most audio out of the DD/dts signal if better then the common used decoders. The high-rez formats are uncompressed and thus sound much better
