New codecs worth making a switch right now?

Those of you who have updated to the two new codecs (Dolby True HD and DTS HD), is there a noticabble difference in the audio quality? I already have a blue ray player and a system with the codecs that were in place just prior to the two new versions.

Thanks,

Mike

Prpixel- I don't believe all processors or receivers with HDMI from a year or two back are able to decode multichannel LPCM. I know that the McIntosh units are not able to do so.

It would be nice if we had a consolidated list of which units can and cannot decode multichannel LPCM (other than the newer units out in the last year).
