Now, if your gear is doing something different manipulating the resulting LPCM audio depending on the format... all games are off. But that has nothing to do with the format itself. Good luck with your testing.

Why both on CE?

Well, I already covered a few. Spielberg was an early investor in DTS. Really. Anyway, why not? Neither TrueHD or DTS-HD MA are mandatory. Plenty of space, so why not offer more options?

Not that I expect this movie to use it but remember that DTS HD MA has more bandwidth avail.

As to why I think the TrueHD tracks are better than the PCM is very simple. And it is not what the receiver is doing with wither one but the fact where do you think the better DACs are? And I cannot help but think it makes a difference. And I can test them w/o any processing of any kind and with some. And it makes no differnce in the tests so far which one gets chosen.
