As gonk noted, the "bit budget" for DTS is higher than for DD, to my understanding because it uses a "lossless" compression algorithm, while DD's is lossy, so to that point I suppose that there is a quality difference. I think that audiophiles in general see DTS as superior, and I personally notice that DD is a bit harsher in the higher frequencies. Sounds like your ears are noticing something similar.
