Re: Do I really need DTS ?

63.52.170.171

I stand corrected, I was thinking Dolby Surround. Too many acronyms to stay fluid in conversation sometimes. The market is being literally flooded with great Dolby Surround receivers because of their HT obsolesance. Both DTS and THX are both mainly marketing hype now but they do set some standards for processing. Without them you chuck in an undefined processing chip and call it DD with a very wide variance in channel seperation and sound reproduction quality. I agree THX and 7 channel sound are in their infancy. Progress is always slow in the beginning but picks up pace very quickly. People were buying high end receivers 12 or 18 months ago thinking who would ever need componant video or a pile of S-Video on a receiver. Now they own a $2000 dinosaur.
I did read that someone is coming out with a VHS that is DD. Why I don't know. A giant step backwards.
