The TrueHD on the new version is amazing. I'm not really an audiophile, but I was very impressed by it. It's one of the best soundtracks I've heard on a BD disc and you won't be disappointed. The disc also has far more bonus content, so I can't see that there's even much to debate here. Even if there are any minuscule differences between the PCM/TrueHD tracks, I have to wonder how many people have the equipment/ears to detect it (beyond the volume differences).

I agree, especially on the TRUEHD. I finally purchased it yesterday and I must say i'm very pleased with the package. I find the TRUEHD an improvement over the PCM because I hear more inner detail than I heard on the PCM. If there's anything i'd give the PCM advantage over is sounding "smoother" which is something I notice with PCM tracks.

The sound quality would be almost enough but i'm really loving the featurettes. I got the chance to watch BOND IN THE BAHAMAS, THE ROAD TO CASINO ROYALE and a bit of the Ian Fleming featurette and I find them all interesting. I didn't play with the PIP yet.

Thus far, very pleased!!

I prefer the TrueHD audio because the dialogue sounds a little louder and easier to understand. I think this audio has been mixed a little higher than the old PCM.

Definitely agree. I had to turn the volume lower than I normally did with the PCM.

I don't think that Sony engaged the Dialnorm?
