Uncompressed or Dolby Digital?

All TrueHD tracks have a 5.1 core either at 448kbps or 640kbps, it's discrete and doesn't muck up the original lossless track. I'm wondering if the DTS method of embedding it contributes to its greater bandwidth and DSP power to extract all that information properly.

First of all, it doesn't have a Dolby Digital 'core', it has a separate Dolby Digital companion track, there's a difference.

192/24 MLP on DVD-As is stereo only, always was and still is. What I said was, AFAIK, TrueHD does not do 192/24 at 5.1, at least not on BD, or am I wrong? Scratch that, I know I'm not wrong - directly from Dolby's own site:

Supports up to eight full-range channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio

That's in reference to TrueHD.

I still say DTS-HD MA is better.
