Re: Do I really need DTS ?

209.204.132.61

I second Greg's opinion but I'd like to add a couple of statments on my own. DTS movies are far and few in between while DD is a predominant in most DVD movies soundtrack. The differences in sound of the two formats are almost null, at least according to Sound & Vision and H/T mags experts. Most if not all AV receivers or prepros offer both DD & DTS as standard features.
BTW, a new 'Enhanced' or so-called THX-EX sound feature is becoming a new standard for both DTS & DD sound format. What that means is you need to buy more amplification and speakers in order to accomodate the 'EX' feature in your h/t system. New movies such as The Haunting or U571 soundtrack are 'EX' recorded.
