The result is a fuller, richer surround-sound audio image. There are five main soundtrack formats which are readily available for Blu-ray, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, DTS-HD Master Audio, and Linear PCM. Only in very high-end systems can anyone tell the difference between most of these formats. Dolby TrueHD is the format that is the closest to being identical to the version of the film that the people who made it hear and see when they watch the original studio master.

I'll disagree that "only in very high-end systems can anyone tell the difference". He's mostly listed lossless audio, but he's got DD+ listed in there. Also disagree with TrueHD being the format that's "the closest"... they're all the same, depending on mastering.
