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...

Small difference.

DTS does sound a little bit sharper, but the difference is not exactly jaw-dropping.
I personally favor DTS, but im more than happy with DD

I think the best DTS disc is Attack of the Clones.

When it comes to ambient and in-your-face sound effects nothing quite beats a well engineered SCI FI flick.

Final destination sounds pretty good too. I managed to see that on my HT rig before i lost it.

once i get my HT back up i think i will have to go rent the Haunting.

Either way, i think Attack of the clones has about the best sound of any movie out there.
