Agreed. Generally, the differences will only be heard on very high end systems, and then only by those who know what to listen for. Even the most basic mag masters, which would have been the source of a Dolby SVA track from the late 1970s and early '80s can give superb listening results on a home theater system, filling out the 5.1 function quite nicely.Originally Posted by haineshisway /t/319152/a-few-words-about-casablanca-70th-anniversary-in-blu-ray#post_3905572
Absolutely correct. It's funny, but I'd guess if you did a "blind" test with lossless and lossy on certain films (or maybe all films) few would be able to guess correctly other than just guessing and getting lucky - and many would hear no difference at all.
