Fantasia 2000 DVD, comparison of DTS and Dolby 5.1

152.163.207.192

Fantasia 2000 has great orchestral music, and you get a choice of DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1. Since this was orchestral music, I thought I could finally compare the two formats and see what the difference is.

DTS was louder at the same preamp volume level. I could not get a read on which format I preferred though after correcting for volume. Did any of you notice a difference between DTS and DD 5.1? This was the most fun A/B'ing I ever had.

I must say that this is DVD is a fabulous way to show off your home theater. Great music, vivid visuals. I played it last night for my brother and his girlfriend, and they really enjoyed it.

I went ahead and used DTS last night when playing it for my guests just because it is more exotic I guess. I was curious how the Dolby Digital would sound though.

Did anyone else do a comparison of the Fantasia DVD in DTS and Dolby Digital?
