Re: [SurroundSound] DTS-HD Master Audio

There was a thread last year that talked about this and RLW I  believe that you may be referring to DTS hardware encoded CDs. These do sound somewhat better than software encoded recordings and I own about 50  or so myself. Oxford Dickie then raised a theory about this but it was about this time last year so I've gotten memory fade on what he suggested caused the diffrence but I think it was to do with the selected band  processing.

My point, and I will have a look back at what I discovered was, that the DTS technique is essentailly similar to MP3 and I explained that refering back to an article on how the encoding works - in fact I did put it on the SSGG site as a downloadable PDF..

I will dig out some examples for you to listen to  - I think Mug's Moontan by Golden Earring was the most unlistenable yet the Flac is super but  the first thing  i always notice is smeared transients, squashed percussion, a false mid band thickness and complete lack of ambience - if you can spot it you deserve a medal; lol

I have converted my entire hires  surround collection over to DTS-MA - one of the reasons was to finally have a simple interface to easily play the albums on a PC..

 

I use Windows 7 Media Center with an HDMI soundcard - I have the albums grouped alphabetically - open the media center - click on say the G folder and there I have a jpg of each album - click on the album you want and it starts playing...really simple and lossless too..

There are a few nice releases appearing with a version of DTS that is
at last listenable to. DTS-HD.
It might just be the future of surround audiophile music, but I don't
know much about it other tha what I've read & that looks positive.
24bit/192kHz in at least 6 channels has to be applauded. now that DTS
is finally lossless!
So my major question at the moment, as I don't have a Blu Ray player
is how can I playback 24bit/192kHz 6 channel DTS-HD on my PC? My
soundcard an M-Audio Delta is only 24/96 capable so I imagine 192
stuff will just be output at 96.However that is beside the point.
The point really being about codecs, sound file formats &. software
players etc.?
Will Foobar200 play DTS-HD?
