Hi Choker!
Everyone's offered an opinion here, so I thought I'd offer mine. DTS
wavs are back up files (archives) from retail DTS CD audio discs.
They're a great format for surround sound and come officially from
recording studios. I searched for DTS CD at Amazon and came up with
this awesome list:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_6?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=dts+cd&sprefix=dts+cd
You can also find DTS CDs at your local music store. To play a DTS CD
you need a DVD or bluray player capable of DTS decoding. I think it
would be hard to find a DVD / Bluray player today that doesn't have
this capability.
You can also play a DTS CD on a CD player. However, I don't think CD
players have DTS decoders built into them. In this case, you need a
receiver that has a DTS decoder built into it. I think it would be
hard to find a receiver today that doesn't have this capability.
What happens when you play a DTS CD in your CD player to a receiver
without DTS decoding? You hear annoying static in glorious surround.
For convenience, some of us (myself included), have archived our DTS
CD to DTS WAVs. This, I think, is an unofficial format. But once you
have your Windows HTPC set up, it can be more convenient to listen to
a DTS CD directly from your hard drive. Looking back over these
suggestions, it looks like it's a technical challenge at best.
Maybe you'd like to try another option? You can drag 'n drop your DTS
WAV into burning software such as Nero, imgBurn, etc., and create your
own unofficial DTS CD. NOTE: this may or may not give you the same
quality as the original retail CD.
The idea of listening to a DTS WAV -- at least my hope for you -- is
that you'll feel compelled to buy your own DTS CD from one of your
favorite artists. When you have the hardware, this format is great.
The folks at DTS really came up with some fun stuff for your home
theater. I have a lot of these discs. A few I really enjoy:
Alan Parsons - On Air
Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Street Boulevard
Sting - Brand New Day
Blue Man Group - The Complex
Telarc Sampler
I started listening to these retail discs and kept getting more. I
still don't have Bonnie Raitt's "Road Tested".. It's next on my DTS
wish list.
One last note: the studios also produce DTS DVDs. These don't have
videos of the band, but do include menus with artwork for selecting
tracks. The DVDs also include some other cool formats, such as DTS-ES
and DTS 96-24. If your receiver (or player) is equipped with these
decoders, you get another compelling (and yet different) surround
experience. Some of my favorites:
Alan Parsons - A Valid Path
Dream Theater - Consequence of Chaos
Genesis - any from their catalog, Lately it's "Lamb Lies Down on
Broadway" (in DTS 96-24)
Jean Michel Jarre - Aero
Switchfoot - The Beautiful Letdown
Anyway, the list is long in this format and it's far from dead. I hope
this background helps you with your enjoyment of a great surround
format.
