Finally got my own system up to 7.2.4 Atoms compliant with true UHD and have been desperate for more content.
#Dts digital surround vs dolby digital movie#
Sorry to get lengthy here, just love the stuff. Both DTS and Dolby Digital are audio compression technologies, that allow the movie makers to record surround sound. If you prefer a more dramatic "surround soundy" feel, you could set it to Dolby pro logic or DTS Neo, which is an artificial surround recreation. This will treat the uncompressed audio as it was designed.
Others may use standard Dolby Digital 5.1, etc. Some channels, like Netflix and Amazon Prime, use the Dolby Digital+ format for their surround sound audio. Your receiver should then be set to straight or direct. Auto-detect is usually the best option for most folks, as different channels provide different audio formats. So, when it comes down to it, I would try to switch to hdmi if possible, and then choose uncompressed 5.1. This essentially means you're hearing exactly what was recorded (speaker quality, multi channel power of your receiver, and number of speakers being a separate issue). The storage capacity on these discs requires no compression, and is called lossless audio. Which is better Dolby Digital or Dolby Surround Dolby offers two different 7.1 surround versions. Such a finding from a principal competitor is suspect on its face. But since the dawn of the Blu ray, and now even UHD Blu ray, this no longer matters. Is DTS 2.5 better than Dolby Digital DTS NEO 2.5 achieves mathematically better empirical results versus Dolby Digital in waveform analysis with higher bitrate dimensions, resulting in an analytically superior attribution of fidelity. 'Dolby's paper, as might be expected, asserts the superiority of Dolby Digital over the DTS Digital Surround system. It was true that while Dolby was (and remains) industry standard, DTS had a higher bit rate compression, resulting in more accurate sound reproduction.

A lot of info you're getting here is dated and incorrect.
