Is Warner changing to DTS-HD Master Audio too?

Isn't DTS core at 1.5mbps?

Yes but they use 2 different compression techniques, think MPEG2 vs. MPEG4 for video. DD is extremely efficient and can VBR it's channels independently, where DTS is CBR for all channels.

The DTS-HD at 1.5 mbps core's sound a lot better than the TrueHD core at 640 kbps, that's for sure. I prefer DTS-HDMA for this reason as I don't have a lossless receiver at the moment.

Really though, if you go past 1.5 mbps, there's little audible difference on most equipment.

Actually there is no audible difference.. Since both are LOSSLESS mixes. It's just that often DTS HD Tracks sound better because the guys over at DTS like to make their tracks a little more aggressive.. Meaning more bass and such
