DVD-A versus DTS
DVD-A versus DTS
Can anyone explain the differences between these two formats? They both work in the '04 TL and at home in a DVD player. Both these formats are sold in the same oversize jewel case and are sold in the same section of the music stores I frequent. The section is labeled "DVD Audio".

JonDeutsch posted a great primer on DVD-A that was turned into a "sticky" (see the beginning of this forum's postings). DTS is "Digital Theater Sound" and is not DVD-A from what I learned. It will play on the TL sound system as will 5.1 format, regular CDs and DVD-A (which will also play on your home DVD system but technically they are not DVD-A and will not give you that true 5/6 channel sound.) I defer to Jon who knows what the deal is.

I'm just glad the TL has a surround setup with a center speaker and all 5.1 sorround. Between DVD-A and DTS ?????? hard to tell the difference. 5.1 channels and 2 stereo channels big difference.

sorry, but can I jump in w/ a stupid question
If I get a DVD-A will it only work in the car or a DVD player? Will it now work in a traditional cd player w/o the 5.1 sound quality?

Last, but not least, by 2004, the DVD Forum is trying to add to the DVD-A standard by including a CD-compatible track to all DVD-A discs... meaning that in the future, if you buy a DVD-Audio disc, it will not only play on ALL DVD players, but ALL CD players as well! Talk about compatability.

DVD-a's do play at home
Most DVD-A's will/should play in your DVD player at home, even says so on a lot of the jewel cases.
the Diff from DVD-A to DTS is not a real comparison.. DTS is (i think) Digital Theater surround).. so it is more of a format, not a quality issue. DVD-A means the 96 bit 192khz quality. DVD-A can contain DTS as a soundtrack type. The Linkin Park DVD-A certainly does as I can discreetly hear the instruments fade and pan around.
I also have a DTS 5.1 CD, so it is lower resolution, but is still capable of using the 5.1 surround on the TL and certainly does, it's a fun cd to demo to people to show off the TL.
I've also noticed that DTS cd's are brighter and crisper than a standard CD as far as the lack of treble in the TL, but honestly there should be no reason to back that up.
