DTS vs Dolby 5.1

Ok guys, which is better? DTS seems to have better bass extension....

My stuff:
Samsung 61" DLP Rear Proj
Samsung B/R
Sony B/R
2- JBL 10" subs w/240 W Mono Block
Yahmaha Rec'vr 7.1
DIY mains, center and satelites (Morel tweet/ Audax 6.5")

Theoretically DTS.

In practice, it depends on the movie/mix.

[Chris D]

Yes, it depends upon how that particular DVD was mastered. In my own experience, I found that DTS would, more often than not, give a better performance, so I would always choose DTS when available.

Now that we have HD audio tracks, I have not found DD+ to be generally better or worse than DTS-HD. Similarly, I have not found any difference between DTS-MA, Dolby TrueHD, and PCM Lossless.

DD is also very good, depending on the quality of recording
Like U-571 very low noise floor

[George Bellefontaine]

Yeah, it depends on things, but in general I don't hear much difference other, maybe , than in the bass extension.

If given the option, I always opt for DTS.

If given the option, I always opt for DTS.

Without question DTS Master Audio 7.1
