We are all hoping Warner does not screw this up. If New Line was still on there own you know we would be getting 6.1 or 7.1 DTS-HD MA.

16 bit TrueHD vs DTS-MA 24 bit SO much better??? I think not. I would be willing to bet NOBODY would be able to hear a dif between these two in a double blind. I sure hope we get the latter just for good measure, but the reality is there will be no real world dif IMO.
