I have read some pro saying the same thing...they cannot tell much difference is sound quality.

I guess the difference is in the $$$ and if it makes you happy and you can tell the difference, then go for it.

Some people will go to the extend of repeating the scenes just to find those very subtle difference and to them it makes one hell of a difference. For me, just sit back and relax and enjoy the movies!

Bit rate is just numbers....what our ear hear is a totally different thing. You can have a billion kbps and if our ear cannot tell the difference, then it means nothing.

Just like digital photo....300dpi is photo realistic already. Anything above that our eyes cannot tell the difference. Just remember that Manufacturers will always come out with new things to empty our wallet. The next thing you will see is probably Superbit Bluray coming your way btu how much better is the picture quality is qeatiuonable.

Sure. If you're half-deaf or deaf, of course audio bit-rate means nothing.

Before LaserDisc/DVD, people thought VHS was good enough. Before BD/HD, people thought DVD was good enough. But most people won't know what they are missing until they are shown the difference. Read this review of the Lord Of The Rings on Blu-ray Disc.

Video on BD is using lossy compression. Audio on BD can also use lossy compression but most new studio releases use lossless compression. There is a big difference.

If you gone to see This Is It in digital cinema, what you were hearing is the best the movie could sound.

The difference between 56k vs 256k mp3 would probably sound very different. But as the bitrate gets higher and higher the difference become less and less obvious until to a point where any increase in bitrate cannot be differentiate by the human ears. Even a lot of pro under lab condition have acknowledge that there isn't much difference between those compress and uncompress audio.

This is It when play on the same cinema with normal DTS could have sound just as good too!!!
