Poll: Should Sony use DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD? - Blu-ray Forum

Y3k Bug · 05-19-2009, 06:49 PM

Do you think SPE should start using DTSHDMA and drop Dolby True HD?

I am interested in an online poll on Blu-ray.com that inquires as to whether or not the members feel that SPE should start using DTSHDMA and drop Dolby True HD.

Don't see a poll, but my answer is no.

MacDaddyOJack · 05-19-2009, 06:52 PM

I don't see a poll, but I say NO!

DTS will occasionally master some of their tracks a little hot, and almost all of them are 4dB louder than the original master. I feel like the bass gets a little boomy with some of the hot recordings as well.

These are really tiny complaints, almost insignificant really(lossless in either format is wonderful) but if I have the option to vote, I say stay with TrueHD.

You people are too fast!

Poll is up and running.

I agree 100%. And.................done well !

trans22 · 05-19-2009, 07:01 PM

i would say yes, i really hate truehd most of the time it just sounds the same as dolby digital, i recently bought underworld: rise of the lycans and that sounds terrible, the dialogue is way too quiet. dts hd has more volume and superior clarity and usually a higher bit rate.

mjbethancourt · 05-19-2009, 07:26 PM

No. Why should they?

Y3k Bug · 05-19-2009, 07:27 PM

I personally don't care either way. As long as there is a lossless option, that's good enough for me.

...aaaaaaaaaaaaand you don't think that could possibly be the mix, do you?

I voted it doesn't matter- just bring us quality lossless audio.

Adam_ME · 05-19-2009, 07:46 PM

It shouldn't matter either way. I would like as high a bitrate as possible though.

No reason they should. But DTS might have offered a deal. I think it's nice they're soliciting opinions to see how many folks owning non-DTS legacy players might get left out in the cold.

Cisco in HD · 05-19-2009, 07:47 PM

It would be nice, but as long as it is lossless, I really wouldn't mind. I'm down for great AQ, it doesn't bother me of it's DTSMA or TrueHD, or even a hamster running on a wheel. Just ensure it's LOSSLESS.

And I did cast a vote.

MosHighDef · 05-19-2009, 07:56 PM

I love the PCM on the Patriot and APocalypto

JimSD · 05-19-2009, 07:57 PM

It wouldn't affect me now, but for those with older receivers they will benefit from the higher bitrate DTS core. So I voted Yes.

dvd_mazter · 05-19-2009, 08:04 PM

DTS for me. I find it delivers a much more powerful and dynamic experience. I find True HD to be a little quiet sometimes too in some movies. ( Body of Lies is my best example, the sub never really worked up even during giant explosions unlike QoS which just rocked my house

)

AikonEnt · 05-19-2009, 08:10 PM

The best audio my system can currently do is the 1.5mbps core track of DTSHDMA, therefore I voted yes.

couldn't agree more

KubrickFan · 05-19-2009, 08:18 PM

Doesn't matter to me, as long as it's lossless. Even though I'm currently bitstreaming the audio, I will get a new receiver soon.

Are you talking about on their Blu-ray players or their receivers and stuff? My receiver already has dts-hd Master Audio: pic here. Please clarify for morons like me.
