Not even matched sound samples?!? 'Preferred'? Shades of 'golden throat' 4khz cutoff preferences of the 1940's!

The most one can say of the 'study' you referenced, is that it is intentionally very limited in objective. The procedure was extremely flawed in several ways, and does not even address the quality issues that are most important to HT systems.

Matched samples of DD and DTS to *unprocessed* tracks are what need to be evaluated to reach a useable estimation of the quality of each.

What happens with the 'to the wall' perceptual compression of DD when user setups have far less than perfect room and speaker response, as most do? The artifacts are exposed in all their gruesomeness.

IMO, it's pretty sad that people are talking up 64khz dreck and pretending that 'reduced bandwidth' is more important than availing themselves of a quality product such as DTS.
