Looking for the most jaw-dropping DTS-HD MA track on blu...
I've finally updated my receiver and can now fully immerse myself in HD audio goodness!
What I'm looking for is suggestions from first hand listening to various blu-ray discs as to DTS MA quality. I'd like to find a disc with some great demo material to show off the new receiver.
Any suggestions?
mike.

Why the focus on DTS MA? True HD or PCM should sound (literally) every bit as good. |

I assumed it was because he had a new 'toy' and wanted to 'play' with it. 
Anyway, I can't give a first-hand account, as I cannot decode DTS MA at this time, but I have read that The Orphanage has a wicked DTS MA track, and judging by the 'core' I can believe it. |

Exactly!
Of course I've got PCM discs and TrueHD discs, but want to play with an MA disc!
Thanks for the suggestions. Any more?

I second the Orphanage. I watched it in DTS MA this week, and it had me jumping out of my seat. The video is also first rate- the color is a little washed out, which I assume was the original intention, but the detail is spectacular.

I've never even heard of The Orphanage, but maybe I'll take a look at it this weekend...I'm guessing Pan's Labyrinth has a pretty amazing DTS MA track as well.

It's a shame the film is so bloody bad, i had such high hopes for this after the books, i have to say whoever made the creative decisions on this film dropped a bollock big time.
Hairspray is full of syrupy 7.1 goodness it's brilliant. |

I agree completely with LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, currently my reference disc for sound and picture for action lovers.
I'd also recommend X-MEN: THE LAST STAND. Terrific sound and picture even if the film is a bit of a come down from the first two films.
