Universal wants lossless DTS-HD MA to become Blu-ray audio standard

If I'm not mistaken DTS HD MA has more bandwidth than Dolby True HD, so in theory it could be better, if it really matters or not I am not sure, and it will of course depend on the master and transfer as well.

So far, I like Uncompressed PCM and DTS-HD MA better than Dolby TruHD.
I think I am leaning more towards Uncompressed PCM than DTS-HD MA right now.
I need to see more movies with DTS-HD MA.

Based on a post from another thread, I picked up The Orphanage which is 7.1 DTS-HD MA. I still have not had time to watch it yet though, but the audio is supposed to be really good.

I think it is far too early to decide which is better, especially as no movie comes with all the new codecs on them. We therefore are comparing films with different soundtracks, mastered differently, by different people. The PCM vs Bitstream also adds the variability of the quality of the player and pre/pro.

I am just happy we have a REAL step up in audio with Blu-ray!!! I have been able to A-B DD/DTS to MC PCM and the difference is HUGE! I can't wait to get to fire up the new Denon pre/pro and run DTS MA HD to it!!!!!!!!!

Yes please let us know how the Denon sings, if you want an amazing Blu Ray for sound track try The Golden Compass cute movie amaizing sound DTS Master Audio 7.1 I wish DTS MA wins this is the best sound ever, now if Classé could hurry-up and release the SSP-800 with new codecs!!!
