Really, musicians make very lousy judges of good sound. I've run into it many times, as I deal with recording orchestras in my work.

Maybe so. But this musician says real symphonies have unpleasant harshnesses and odd sounding overtones in them. He wants to hear these things. But he says, Dolby eliminates the harshnesses and overtones because Dolby (and perhaps many people) consider these to be unpleasant.

I agree with you, though, that Dolby makes the sound, sound good.

I on the other hand, thought DPL II sounded better than DTS, which was just the opposite.

Well, if it's any consolation, my experience is much closer to your's than his. And, as I said before, I can't get past the artifacts and poor steering I hear with Neo:6.

I'm sorry. He agrees with you about DTS NEO sounding more artificial than DPL II. I misquoted him before.
