Biggest lossless letdowns

Right now i'd have to say Indiana Jones as it could have had a much more dynamic mix. I was also disappointed with Sum of All Fears and I don't think Transformers is reference.

I thought Indy was great but I wish it had more "omph" in the LFE department in some action scenes. Transformers was reference all the way.

Geeze guys, Indy had no omph in the theaters. Its the mix, not the codec. Why in hell does everyone point to the codecs? They just get the audio to your receiver. What do you judge when their is no codec and just PCM?

Its the mix, not the codec. Now everyone must write that one hundred times on the chalk board. LOLOLOL

Come on folks! Listen to the experts like Terrence who know what they are talking about and put an end to all this folklore about DTS-HD MA and DD TrueHD and one being superior to the other.

And just for the record, the DTS-HD MA 7.1 mix for La Traviata recently released by Art Haus is deplorable. The vocals especially Angela Gheorghiu (as Violetta) just overpower the orchestra. I actually have an older DVD release of La Traviata on lossy DTS 5.1 that sounds superior (because of better mixing) than this DTS-HD MA 7.1 release. The balance between the orchestra and the vocals is perfect on that DVD. I had great expectations for the DTS-HD MA 7.1 release, but what a let down. I returned it for a refund the day after I received it.

Edited PS: BTW The DVD release that I enjoy most is the Los Angeles Opera's release with Renée Fleming as Violetta and directed by Marta Domingo. I hope someday Decca releases this as DTS-HD MA 5.1.

Well I know which Blu audio disappointed me the most ZZ Top

I just purchased my HD audio receiver the other day, DM & TR Live at Radio City was my cherry popper, I must say

Everything else since then has been a let down... no wait, Iron Man was pretty good.
