That's one of two comparisons that need to be done. But only one.

Lossy on DVD is almost always encoded at less than the maximum bitrates to save space - usually at 754kbps for DTS and 384 for DD 5.1. Blu-ray has more space and those same lossy tracks are usually encoded at much higher rates - 1509 for the DTS core and 640 for Dolby. Those "same" lossy tracks sound much better on Blu than they do on DVD.

Does lossless sound better than the max bitrate lossy tracks on Blu? Usually not, in my opinion, especially with DTS.
