Soundhound,

That matches what I've been reading about it. One of the reasons I think people perceive DTS as better is because for a while, DTS was "accidentally" boosting the bass on its encodings. As I'm sure you know, a psychoacoustic phenemenon is that the louder sound is perceived as the better one, all other factors being equal.

So I do think that DD is superior to DTS. Why? Because if DD is compressed more than DTS, and yet DTS sounds no better than DD, it means that DTS is simply a less efficient coder than DD, giving you no extra benefit for that added space on the disc that is consumed.
