I can tell you their DTS is not old DTS. I have the Panasonic BD30K and an Onyko TX-SR875 hooked up to JBL speakers. You can tell the considerable difference between PCM and DTS-HD (TrueHD as well). I have an HD DVD (Faceoff/Paramount played on an A35) that has 6.1 old DTS and you can tell the difference between that DTS and DTS-HD. I don't want my reciever to have to convert the uncompress audio to another format.
Also Hitman is "English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio" No Country for Old Men is "English Uncompressed PCM 5.1 Surround"
I understand the idea that, yes they are both 48Hz/24bit, but its the format itself. There is a difference between Uncompressed and DTS-HD/TrueHD with the right reciever. It just bothers me that Blu-ray has been touting this 7.1 surround sound, yet where is it? I'm hooked on HD movies I just want the very best, because this is suppose to take over for DVD. I want more of a difference then just uncompressed audio 5.1 slaped onto a 1080p movie.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
