Blu-ray Dolby Digital vs HS. DDplus...

Bottom line is with all this technology, there needs to be some order. Whether its HDCP HDMI hand shake issues, HDMI cable quality issues, bit rates, format wars, I could go on with this list gentleman, but simplicity is the order of the day.
For everyone, even us in the high end. After a long day of work, the family and children, or if your single, whatever it is, ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC AND VIDEO. We can`t lose sight of this.

I myself, just want to come home and push the power button on my universal remote, or those who are blessed that way, Crestron or AMX remote, and enjoy, THAT IS IT!!!!!!!!!

DTS has no mention of 754kbps, as it is an odd conversion rate. So either DTS miscalculated and 1509 should be 1536 or full-bitrate is not quite 1.5Mbps. I know, trival, but still, it would be nice if there was some standard for it.

In DTS, 1509 and 754 are the pay-load bitrates for the audio, 1536 and 768 are their corresponding carrier data rates. Carrier=payload+'household'. 'Household' data contains no audio.
