Please reccomend which format to look for, to get best perfomance of my speakers.Thanks

Answer 1

DTS-ES is not a HD sound format, it is a 6.1 channel surround sound. DTS-HD MA is better than Dolby True HD in my opinon. A THX receiver doesn't mean it supports HD sound formats unless it supports audio via HDMI or your stand alone Blu-ray player has 7.1 analog channel outputs. It is hard to find a Blu-ray movies with both DTS-HD MA and Dolby True HD.

Answer 2

You are not going to hear any difference between Dolby and DTS in HD. The problem is in your system set up. Most system has a volume selector for each channel. Turn the volume up on the center channel speaker in your system. Open the owners manual of your system for direction. Hope this will help you out.

Answer 3

DTS master audio's HD soundtrack is actually louder and deeper and usually has a high bass frequency then Dolby true HD's sound track. Dolby true hd's sound track is softer!

Answer 4

dolby tru hd is better
