You mean PCM?

A good example is Spiderman 3. I can choose between PCM 5.1 and True-HD 5.1 for sound. The PCM seems louder at the same level on my surround system, but until I get a really good system, I didn't notice much in the way of difference in quality.

Yes, the PCM track on that packs more of a punch than the TrueHD. One scene I thought was a good test was when the Sandman punches the cop into the air and onto the womans car, smashing the glass. The glass breaking sounded more natural and of course louder on the PCM as opposed to the TrueHD, which just sounded drowned out.

The only TrueHD tracks Ive been really impressed with so far are "Cloverfield" and the recently released "Kung Fu Panda", which I thought was brilliant.
