Boss, maybe Transformer II even more powerful. Terminator Salvation too.

but mostly are they going to be truHD or DTS HD MA?

i do agree..watched in cinema and the LFE memang KENG

Seems like most of the latest action movies are adopting dts-hdma liao

Theoretically both should be the same right since both are lossless?

Like zip vs rar, once uncompressed the content is the same.

but diff codec wor

ya ka?? i tot it is about M-PCM vs BIT STIM

but bit stim really sounds much better tho

Not really. Buy a pair of 13Ultra . Plonk in emotiva XPA-5. Upgrade speakers to mid-range model. Sure thunderous

I don't think there's anythin "extra" between the US Sapphire & UK one... except the blardee LOGO!!!



Ya, dat's right Maximus.... stab the damn thing!!!

still dun like the logo... i'm getting the US ver wan..

I remember gladiator is 1.85 in dvd...so iizzit the same in BD?

Nope, even the DVD is 2.39:1 ratio.

By the way, at Ezy Video Sg Wang, those RM79.90 concerts like David Foster, you can ask for further discount. My friend bought it for RM75.00 only.

fu yoh, can discount..
too bad i already buy
other BD can ask discount also?

Watch Know1ng last night! Fuyoh! The LFE about the plane crash is very very good & loud! I watch at high volume as the beginning mostly talking ( abit boring ) then suddenly got plane cash! My ceiling & roofing rattle with the LFE.
Lucky whole family already sleeping ( 1.30 am ).

Not sure, didn't ask. I've also bought David Foster from Amazon. The Celine Dion's AQ is still better than David Foster in my opinion.

Both TrueHD and DTS HD MA are available via bitstream, so both of them are in a different camp than PCM.

And also luckily the rattling did not wake them up

If the winrar vs winzip concept applies on dolby truehd and dts-hdma
are they using the same loseless source?
It's just the different methods/codecs of decoding the loseless audio
the one we'll be hearing in the end is the same loseless source
am i right?

Wait til hornyangmoh lays his hands on SVS 13Ultra. I bet his whole family will think that it is an earthquake

YOU ARE RIGHT SIR.

The winzip-winrar concept is true, with the PCM is the original format from the studio master. All are lossless.

But Dolby and DTS labs have their own standard regarding the EQ, dB level and LFE top cut-off (if it's THX-certified the cut-off must be 80Hz). DTS, might have higher dB for LFE or certain other frequencies, while Dolby might be the opposite.

But the DETAILS of the original source is BIT-BY-BIT IDENTICAL to any codecs, all lossless. You won't hear anything extra on any type of lossless codec. Only different is the loudness on certain frequencies.

Yes! SVS 13 ultra is on my wish list. Will consider is seriously once I got rid of my Paradigm or I save up enough money. Looking forward to ur pic & FR.

watched FF7 AC yesterday

puzzled because some scenes look alien for me

did some googling then only realize that it is an extended version more than 30 mins

hence they called it FF7 AC Complete silly me

make the whole story less confusing for 1st time viewer

best thing is the special features

FF Remembrance - take you through FF1 - FF12 ( a bot too short)

FF7 Compilation - walk you chronologically through the FF7 saga starting from FF7: Crisis Core to the FF7 mobile game (forgot name) to the original FF7 game to FF7 Advent Chidren and even the after event in FF7: Dirge Of Cirberius
