Seeing how the BD & CINEMA tracks are ± identical
this is not always true, in particular referred to older movies
and keeping in mind cinema DTS is presumably worse than consumer DTS
they are different codecs, but it’s not necessarily true
which is about half the quality as AC3 at the same bitrate
DTS Cinema quality is really good; yep, I could also agree that it could have half the quality of AC-3 at the same bitrate, but I’m not aware of any 1mbps+ AC-3 track…
it is incredibly daft to listen to the cinema track when BD AC3 is available because you’re listening to much reduced quality for no benefit.
This is not true, unless the AC-3 track is 640kbps AND it uses the same mix; in that case, quality could be comparable; if AC-3 is 448kbps, Cinema DTS is better.
Thanks Jetrell for this DTS thread - and all the others here, and there, you know… 😉
