PCM vs DTS HD-MA

[GoYanks]

they're the same. If it's lossless audio, it doesn't matter.

I heard PCM is better because it comes in it's original raw form. DTS-HD MA comes a close second. And people also voted PCM.

Yes, totally agree.
But sometimes sounds different because the mix they use.
I notice that especially in live concerts.
This make people think they are different, in my opinion.

Sometimes the PCM track is 16 bit and the DTS HD-MA/TrueHD track is 24 bit, if that's the case then the DTS track would be the preferred version. If they are both the same bit depth and as long as your player/receiver can decode MA ether one because they would be equal .

Where is dolby? dont tell me?....

[surfdude12]

they all have same capabilty.

i can name a TrueHD movie (transformers) which tops most PCM tracks
i can name a PCM movie (black hawk down) which tops most TrueHD/DTS tracks

and i can anme a DTS movie (Sunshine) which tops most PCM/TrueHD tracks

so its how they're mixed and the bit rate, not whether its PCM/TrueHD/ or DTS

How many threads do we need to repeat the same stupid argument?

Personally, I prefer analog. Sound is analog by nature. PCM is a procedure to convert analog to digital. Therefore, both PCM and DTS MA are inderior to analog. From now on, we should have analog sound recorded on Blu-ray discs and all BD players should be equipped with a stylus (needle) to read the analog sound. No more digital.
