er...... in my own experience, lossless sounds beside being obviously clearer, also sounds "fuller" with better dept & wider staging when compared to lossy audio so i agree with bro aiman, mypw, anfieldude and megatron. I personally compared and tested Black Hawk Down (BD vs Superbit) , 5th Element (BD vs Superbit), Master & Commander (BD vs R3), Transformer (BD vs R1 SE), Cars (BD vs R3) and Top Gun (BD vs R1). In terms of bass, lossy dvd sound a loud louder and boomy so anfieldude's explanation that the volume for the audio track might be cranked up does sound logical. Lossless bass is a lot "calmer," clearer and looooooooow. In terms of the high, the bullet zipping by sounds a lot more real and distinct with lossles.

If you're wondering what equipment i tested with, here's what is used:
PS3 (PCM) -> Onkyo 805 -> MS Carnival 7.1

PS - Also tested with Spidey 1 & 2 (BD vs Superbit) blush.gif I was once a hardcore superbit/dts sapporter. brows.gif
