DTS-ES Discreet is not listed in the review on HTF.
Outlaw wouldnt' have dropped that one would they (oh no!).
Think he just got tired of typing all the versions?

-- just started reading a post from beta tester #5 at the bottom of this page; he's the MC-12 guy, and seemed pretty impressed with the 950. He's still getting familiar with it, but seems to rate it as very, very close sonically... damn, that's impressive...

If you haven't had a chance to go digging through the forums for all of the beta tester comments, a member at HTF did some gathering in this thread there . It has all of the beta tester comments (excluding answers to individual questions) in one place. You may want to also check out beta tester #3's thread here, as I'm not sure all of his comments appear in the HTF thread (last I checked, two of his posts hadn't made it to the HTF thread). You can also see pictures of Robert Fowkes's setup here .

Dear Outlaw, I know you have the tremendous task of 'moving them doggies out' ahead. But I hope you took time to s m i l e today, when you read that one!
Congrats Outlaws!

I second that one, Lena! That comment caught my attention when I read it earlier. I sense a flury of "wow!" posts to the forum in a month or so when folks start receiving the first units.

Since I am (slowly) learning. I knew that statement was high praise. Recently, I vaguely assumed �THX� was a sound decoder, have learned with time, it is a �standard�. Build quality, certification for hardware/software specs on how the sound is passed, the ultimate bar being a certain �experience level� out of the total pkg.
If I remember correctly, that beta tester has a fully THX compliant system. So although �sound� is the end quantifier, he means a whole lot of complimentary things when he writes that sentence.
Very nice!

THX can also be restrictive some times... requiring dipole surrounds, fixed 80 Hz crossover, etc.
