Unfortunately, people often use this 'better' sound as proof that the DTS codec is better than Dolby Digital. DTS's higher bit rate is also touted as an indicator of higher quality; I guess it never occurs to some folks that DTS might have a higher bit rate because it's less effecient than DD.

BTW, if anyone is curious to see a comparison of DD vs DTS vs MLP on the same recording, take a look here . The graph represents the energy from the LFE track of a DVD-A.
