Just to clarify what Soundhound and I were hearing a couple weeks ago: It was a MUCH more striking difference (with more subtlety) than a louder level. There were many other DTS differences that were preferable to DD ... and not all of those could be attributed to EQ variations.

I'd love to see the article on SMR. Do you have a title for the thread or a direct link? I didn't have any luck trying to search it out over there.

Finally, a DTS anomaly. I rented Moulin Rouge last week (hated it, by the way) and the DTS track was out of sync. I thought it was something wrong with my system until I switched to the Dolby track and all was well. I did find a couple references on the web that others observed the same thing.

Could be an anomaly in my equipment, of course, that some others share as well. But it was pretty weird.
