dts question

I am thinking of upgrading my system by incorporating a dts decoder. I already have a dolby digital decoder though. Does anyone know the difference and know if it is worth getting into. Is there a noticable differnece betweene dts and dolby digital. And if there is a difference, is it small or large.

any inputs will be greatly appriciated...

The differences are more subtle than in the past. DD has improved but dts is still superior with the noticable difference being somewhat deeper , tighter bass. The midrange is slightly cleaner but not dramatically so . However dts IS superior so if your system is capable of the extended bass response and the systems resolution is good then do it. Especially if you are a theatre nut , ......like me. The definitive dts movie is The Haunting by the way.

Slappy may be correct. I forgot about Clones. Saw Final Destination 2 this weekend and we will have to agree to disagree . There is a couple of scenes in The Haunting that assuming your system is capable; will blow your mind. I stand by this selection as the most intense dts disc available. At least for a few select scenes.

Glen , I just went back and watched 40 minutes of Final D 11 and I was mistaken. I watched it in DD this past weekend. The DTS version is incredible. My apologies dude.
