i tot DTS louder?

samethin applies to women, matching bra and panties produce better results

To me I always prefer DTS sound field is wider. He! He! On matching spk set same as lady I agree with u! Product 'better result'!!!

I have try out blu-ray copies ( burned with blue DVD9 disc Rm13.00 ) & blu-ray/Hd Dvd ( China copies Rm10.00 )on my Panny. I perfer the China copies, much better PQ.

dolby seems 'louder' for me and when i switch to dts the volume seems to decrease lol.

btw, where did u get the china blu ray copies? u copy them yourself? haha not sure which disc they used
for mine.. i think its just the normal dvd9 dual layer. for additional rm6 for this copy i am satisfied with it.
probly just get the blu ray copies for favorite movies lol. watched transformers on this blu ray copy and
im impressed!

for me dtshd ma sounds better than ddthd.. also if u look at the bandwidth, its higher for dtshd.. my usual volume for bluray is -0.0db.. (omg pearl harbor perfect )

0dB ? The loudest I can go is -17dB now. Even that only when I ahve crazy mood.

wooot?? -0.0db??? i think that will shake my whole apartment down...
the loudest i can go before i go deaf is -10db lol.. and i dont have a
dedicated AV room... just blast it in the hall

DTS definitely better than DD lah. Higher bit rate. I tot this is universal knowledge already. If you want to listen the actual difference between those two format, you must use ORIGINAL DVD people and not ahem one.

ahem dvds direct copy over ori dvd, shud be exact print, no difference

Not necessarily lah. Sometimes PCM and TrueHD can be quite good. Have you listened to Clovefiled's TrueHD?

Based on experience...not true

That's because sometimes the re-encode from a double-layer DVD to fit a single layer one. I've done this myself.

DTS can reach higher bitrate than other codecs, no argument there. But if that's always the case?

One example, my Short Circuit BD, the DTS-HD MA track's bitrate just around 2Mbps. But my Celine Dion BD, the Dolby TrueHD maintains at 7Mbps, and sometimes reach 10Mbps.

My Live Free or Die Hard's DTS-HD MA track's bitrate is around 6Mbps. That's why I said not always.

You Jack Sparrow...

and again you are right but...
You should compare DD and DTS on a single disc. You can't compare with different title because they have different mastering

Ok, you're right too.

What I meant was the bitrate doesn't always reach peak.

i prefer dts...dolby seem softer to me...need to crank up the volume to get the same effect as dts.....

my normal listening volume:-

Astro/TV : -23 to -28db
DVD : -25 to -33db
Blu ray : -15 to -44db (midnight show )
Music CD : -12 to -24db

using Yamaha RX-V861

Yep I prefer DTS too. Sound effect is much better than DD. I'm making a list now of BD titles that come with DTS-MA. When I got the BD player, I can straight order from Amazon

lol i like it LOUD and i have a dedicated AV room.. u wont go deaf la dont worry... just make sure the source is CLEAN and ure speakers can handle it.. if not, sure sakit ure ear.. my friend said good speakers wont hurt ure ears even at very loud volume cuz its the noise that hurts the ear.. no idea true o not..

my volume:
astro: -14-20
music: -5-15
gaming: 0-10
bluray movie: 0
mute: -30

dont forget rambo and matikeras 4! .. for pcm im in love with pearl harbor...

as for cloverfield.. wont watch it again till i got my SUBS!! sighhh where or where is the reply email

===> matikeras LOL LOL LOL

aremmie, if the unker ho disc is direct copied from the ori disc, it would remain the same, no difference
ori D9 copy as jack's D9 = same/identical

Matikeras?? You got me thinking there for a moment
Rambo 4 got too much blood. I won't buy that one for sure. I might vomit

I believed so but the ahem Hero I got, the sound is so inferior from my original R1 Hero. So are a few other titles that I have.

bro, i think tat ahem hero source not direct from R1 dvd
