PCM Vs. True HD audio?

[DaViD Boulet]

It's important to provide the name of the title you're talking about. Generalizations are fine, but if you're mentioning a specific case, tell us the title. It's possible that in different authoring/mastering situations:

1. TrueHD and PCM sound exactly the same
2. Decoded TrueHD sounds better
3. PCM sounds better.

Think of some of Sony's titles that do 24-bit TrueHD but only 16-bit PCM. Sony doesn't use Dialog Normalization. Warner does. Disney always gives 24-bit PCM instead of Sony's 16-bit.

See where differences can start to come into play?
