Thank you. Really just looking for the best sound quality preferably in the original mix. I'm using a computer for my audio/video and to be honest bly-rays are a PIA and I'm satisfied with the video quality of upscaled dvds (actually in some instances I prefer it). I do want lossless if possible but I was under the impression that ALL dolby digital in dvds was lossy - not just 5.1. Do I understand you correctly that all dts in dvds as well as dd mono and stereo tracks are lossless? I wouldn't be surprised because to my ears those mixes sound as good as blu-rays - I do agree with you that the dd 5.1 do not sound good. thanks
blu -ray audio
I am using my high-end 2 channel system for movies, and prefer classic films with their original mono or 2 channel mix when available. Most blu-rays offer a selection of 5.1 or 7.1 dolby tru hd or dts master audio, as well as the original mono or stereo/dolby surround mix. Am I correct that these alternate mixes are not lossless, and if so, is the lossy quality better than the same mix in the dvd? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
