http://www.audiocheck.net/ Take the blind test. I did pretty good on them.

That test really pissed me off. I'm too much of a dumbass to figure out how to take it. 10 options for 3 versions of 6db or something? Dumbass.

the big (if not the only) difference with lossless vs. lossy is dynamic range... and it's a very noticeable difference... I've done blind tests before and can tell a rather big difference.

I find there is also more surround activity with higher bit rates and the audio is usually louder in my experience.

so i did a little experiment by hooking up my bdp-bx1 up to my main room and switched between regular dolby digital and the dd true...and i finally hear the difference..its actually a huge difference like most of you have described...so what the hell is up with my ps3?

just hooked the ps3 back up and played the exact same scene back and forth about 10 times...no difference in audio...even though i switch between the two and put the display up which tells me im either dd or ddthd and shows different bit rate..there still is no difference in sound...it actually sounds like uncompressed all the time...anyone else had this problem with the ps3?

I think it has a lot to do with the way it is mixed...for instance on the Blu-ray Korn live at Montreux has both DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD and I can tell there is a difference between the two (DTS sounds better to me) but there shouldn't be as they are both lossless. So it must be the way it is mixed.
