You are absolutely right and I apologise for previously possibly being
too lazy to be more specific about the type of DTS that I find
unlistenable. Actually I think I was trying to avoid being too
negative about DTS and only stated it in a positive manner, in that
some DTS is now listenable, rather than berate very early core dts,
especially on home cooked DTS-CD which is horrible. I take your point
about those albums you mentioned, but wonder if they might have been
just that tad better still if they had employed MLP rather than their
then state of the art DTS encoding?
I have some great sounding DTS albums that were hardware encoded by
big music companies and they sound far removed from home-brewed
upmixes on DTS-CD. Can we please remain focused on the new DTS-HD
Master Audio, which is the first really lossless DTS?
I did not want this thread to get side tracked into a discussion about
the old crap stuff, BUT rather for it to get into the nice new stuff
called DTS-HD Master Audio.
