I'm one of those people who usually always prefers the DTS track over the DD. Titles i've prefered DTS include:
Dragonheart
LOTR: Fellowship of the Rings
Courage Under Fire
Saving Private Ryan
Vertical Limit
U-571
Mask of Zorro
T2
Jurrasic Park
Die Hard Trilogy
The Mummy: UE
Tombstone
Unbreakable
What i've always found in those titles in tighter bass, more detail, less strident sound and more coherent interchannel balance.
Having said that there are some DD titles I prefer over the DTS:
The Rock: CC
Blade 2
Speed: 5 Star
Chain Reaction
Lethal Weapon: Director's Cuts
in all the cases where I prefer the DD it seems to me as though the DTS sounds more "compressed". It seems the frequency range is compromised over the DD in those titles i prefer the DD. In the DTS I prefer it never presents that problem.
What i'm wondering is why some sound better than the DD and some sound more compressed? Wondering if their encoder might have some strange anomaly to it?
Would like for those of you who normally prefer DTS and yet there are some in DD that you prefer, could you chime in the differences you are hearing that makes you prefer the DD on that particular release?
Thanks,
David
