I am just blown away by how much depth is in these formats.My home is shaking apart...but I love it!!!

Fans of these formats please post your thoughts, and Tell the forum readers what you like about them...(The audio,not other members ).

Come on folks.......I just know there is someone .

Anyone?

I'm beginning to think that audio is the most important aspect to me. I normally think picture quality first but then I started thinking about a lot of my favorite movies and in almost all of them, I care about the audio more. So yeah, I'm really pleased with lossless audio especially on newer titles. I added the "especially on newer titles" because I just finished watching the The Fog (import) with DTS-HD MA. While I'm happy it has lossless, there just isn't the same depth, fullness, and clarity with a lot of the older soundtracks. Probably better than listening to it in mono (although I don't recall having compared that, with any of the older movies, to see if I prefer the original mono or not).

Okay, I'll admit it, the new audio formats give me a high hard one

Once you've heard a modern action movie in lossless sound on a good audio setup it is awesome. Bullets whiz by you and explosions seem to be happening right in your residence. Live Free Or Die Hard is incredible...

You can't put a disc in a blue case and call it Blu-ray. Blu-ray = high bitrate video (BD 50) plus lossless audio...or at least it should be before calling something Blu-ray.

IMO, lossless audio is as important to the high def experience as the high quality picture.

I hope that Warner realizes soon the mistakes they are making by excluding lossless audio with many of their titles. It's pure criminal.

I'll be triple-dipping on the upcoming BD of 'U-571' which has DTS-HD MA, to replace my SDDVD & HDDVD copies, which only have a (still impressive) DTS track. The lossless HD track on BD is apparently a lot more robust & leaves the HDDVD in the dust.

Ha ha...everyone always asks why my pictures on the wall are crooked.

Between my home theater and my guitar rig...I gave up.

I hear fun•tac is good but who has the time when you can rip and grind.

Sweet! hey...you ever try RAVEN amps? I just got a free stage amp w/12" driver in it! These new amps sound great. awesome clean channel!!!

i love HD sound, its freaking nuts, just really don't like Dolby True HD its always softer and not as full as the others, its always gotta be turned up and the bit-rate is terriable.

My player can decode TrueHD, as well as the required PCM. Because of that, I almost never go to traditional theatres (IMAX excluded). Lossless just puts the common DD theatre sound to shame!!

Since I got my Onkyo 705 and my speakers to have a true high def audio setup, my movie world has been completely changed. The depth and earth shattering lows that come from dts hd-ma and truehd are incredible. The first track I listened too was Cars and Ratatouille and the background noises of rats running around and the cars whipping by are just insane! The Pirates of the Caribbean series and Cloverfield are my favorite action movies... so good!

[mr.hidef]

Cloverfield is great in sound quality!.......

After listening to HD sound and then having to listen to a lossy track is when you truely come to appreciate lossless sound.....

I have been to a few theaters in my time, and the only one to truly impress me to this day is a true IMAX theater. Even though we have Lossless sound ect... If our equipment is not up to task (i.e. we have loss less but our sub only goes down to 27hz) a system playing a lossy track may well sound better because of what it can do with the given information. I truly believe to really experience lossless sound - our systems should be able to handle those extremities or to put it simple - lossless on a HTIB will still sound like a HTIB because that's all it can do. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip

I agree that IMAX is the crown jewel of theaters. But a HTIB playing lossless will sound worse than a lossy DD theater.

P.S. Compared Spiderman 3's TrueHD track against its uncompressed LPCM track...LPCM kills it. I wish uncompressed was the standard, but I do like DTS-HD MSTR.
