To enjoy the benefits of DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD, you must have a Blu-ray or HD-DVD disc that has been recorded in these formats. With the newer Blu-ray and HD-DVDs, more space is available. This wasn’t possible before, due to the lack of space on a normal DVD. Dolby TrueHD, like DTS-HD Master Audio, is an actual bit-per-bit replica of the original studio mix, which of course is how the director intended you to hear the sound. The main goal of Digital + is for it to be a more universal audio format for regular DVDs and the new high-definition ones. Below is a list of what these two versions feature:ĭolby Digital + is compatible with both regular DVDs and Blu-ray/HD-DVDs. The difference between the two is that DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a “limited” version of DTS-HD Master Audio. Both are extensions of the original DTS audio formats. There are two different versions of this new audio format– DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio. So what are DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD all about? Let’s start with DTS-HD first. Many people are familiar with the Dolby name from such audio formats as Dolby Surround Sound, while DTS-HD comes from a company called Digital Theater Systems Inc. DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD audio formats are available on almost all medium-grade and higher-end audio receivers, and they are now a standard feature on almost all Blu-ray and HD-DVD players. The new Blu-ray DVD and HD-DVD players hitting the market are introducing two new audio formats along with their high-definition video capabilities. On the dark knight BD, which is dolby THD, I seem to have to crank up the volume a little more than I think I should have to. To me, DTS HD MSTR sounds clearer than Dolby THD, with the latter seeming more bassy and less detailed. Just wondering peoples opinions on the two codecs. I also have to admit a personal bias favoring DTS.

What are your thoughts about the new formats? Since my previous setup was only able to decode dolby digital and dts, how much better are the new formats? I imagine they are pretty noticeable considering the difference in quality I heard while comparing dts to dts 96/24. I recently purchased new speakers (Acesonic 510 speakers)and a pioneer 819 av receiver capable of decoding TrueHD and DTS HD. Which do you prefer: Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master Audio? 06:32 pm / Posted by Diana Joan | Categories: Knowledge Discussions:
