That article doesn't discuss bandwidth limitations, it's PCM vs. lossless codecs....

...being discussed. And I've disagreed with Zyber before...

There's always been a very obvious subjective difference between lossy and lossless with the same movie on my system, but than again the vast majority of lossy is no better than 640k DD+). I don't have any "high lossy" (1.5mbs DD+) vs. lossless soundtracks on the same movie to compare to (yet).

"Transformers" provides one of the best soundmixes I've heard (minus the LFE which I've had issues with on the LG) but I still don't think it matches the clarity, separation, and dynamic peaks of some movies I have with lossless or uncompressed PCM soundtracks... YMMV.
