Nice write-up, I received this disc with my OPPO BDP-83 but never checked it out.

One tech note: I think you meant to say "But even better is that the DTS-HD "H"R 5.1, 7.1 and TrueHD tests are also included". There's DTS-HD HR and DTS-HD MA, no DTS-HD MR. There's also a typo in the previous sentence where I believe it should say "sound exactly "the same" on your system -- or at least they should." and earlier in the article with "prefer to listen thAn to read, then bad news."

Minor glitches to be sure, but otherwise the article is well-done, and considering how much drama is cooking up over spelling errors from the Android article, figured you might want to avoid "impeachability", as Josh called it in a comment.]]>Nov 11th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/spears-and-munsil-high-definition-benchmark-blu-ray-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/spears-and-munsil-high-definition-benchmark-blu-ray-mini-review/
And with regard to including DD or DTS for comparison purposes, I would have agreed that would be interesting, except I read a CNET article a while back where some editors went to Dolby and DTS's labs to A-B their codecs and could barely tell a difference, despite an acoustically perfect room, expensive equipment, ideal calibration, etc. I have to say I can't really tell a difference, and I don't have any of those conditions in my own rig. I suppose it still would have been nice for the sake of "technical completeness", but I don't think its omission is a practical issue.]]>Nov 11th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/spears-and-munsil-high-definition-benchmark-blu-ray-mini-review/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/spears-and-munsil-high-definition-benchmark-blu-ray-mini-review/

Dolby at least came up with a different name for their lossy and lossless high-def codecs, but DTS grouped them together under the DTS-HD moniker. So it's:

Dolby AC3 DTS: standard codec

Dolby Digital Plus (DD+) DTS-HD High Resolution (HR): high-definition lossy

Dolby TrueHD DTS-HD Master Audio (MA): high-definition lossless
