Blu ray appears to be a better boob tube format/storage medium and audio again is an after thought. People's CPU cycles are attached to their eyes and this format is primary concerned with video and storage. If Dolby is attached to this medium, the audio will be pointless anyway. The amount of processing and, in essence being nothing more than a low pass filter at the end is making quality audio reproduction pointless. Audio would have done much better to brake with video during the Beta vs. VHS format wars as Beta had an outstanding 90db + dynamic range and S/N ratio w/o Dolby to wipe out the timbre of instruments by dropping the high frequencies and cutting out what was considered by many, hiss, only to have a total loss of timbral accuracy of instruments and the sound of the venue (when recording live) wiped out.
