DTS and Dolby Digital remain two of the leading formats for surround sound on modern speakers. But what's the actual difference between the two? Is one better than the other? And which is more futureproof and more likely to be compatible with modern devices?

I have JVC theatre sound system THX approved, has The Dts surround. And the Dolby Digital. That I had it for nearly 20, and I could still call it new in comparison to “newer” sound systems. Its 5.1 But with the DTS on, It’s a Magic , like you’re surrounded by speakers all over the room. I enjoy watching the movies at home more then cinema because the Dts surround sound it is an amazing sound.

Great Explanation!!! Thank you!! I have a Vizio M51-H6 soundbar. Which can handle Dolby Atmos (doesnt have upfiring speakers), Dolby Digital, and DTS. From my testing while streaming it chooses Dolby Digital - Dolby Digital Plus. Now for gaming on Xbox One X if I choose DTS, I have noticed that DTS has more Bass in comparison to Dolby Digital to level it seems like as if it is boosting or faking the Bass. I am not sure if DTS bass is supposed to be like that or if it is boosting it. I only do gaming on the console would you recommend I should choose Dolby Digital or DTS? THANK YOU!!!

Dolby Digital has cleaner fade between speakers and is more clean sounding, DTS has a little bass boost and more sample rate speed,it also boosts rear speaker volume and has way less fade making the fade between speakers more noticable.

I’d like to understand the recommendation to use DTS if you were forced to choose. Why would you choose the higher bitrate option if analysis has shown they are very close in audio quality? With bandwidth becoming an issue for cables today, latency as well; why wouldn’t you go for the more efficient lower bitrate version? Look at the lossless versions, if DTS has a bitrate of 24.5 and Dolby at 18 with the same audio quality, why would you choose DTS if Dolby was an option?

Thanks for this. My old banger JVC surround sound only does Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround. Netflix must be outputing Dolby Digital, as it sounds crap compared to a Blu Ray that I can get DTS Digital Surround, which sounds far more immersive. I will be upgrading soon to a Denon Amp so that I can get DTS-HD, I can’t wait as it should sound better than it already does.

@unfinishedfootsteps1404 3 жыл бұрын

@David Mander Indeed, my point is my system does not support Dolby Digital Plus, so I am not even getting that! Just the core, which is plain Dolby Digital. With my new amp I will be able to receive the Dolby Digital Plus Via Streaming apps, and also lossless audio such as DTS-HD MA via Blu-rays

@Roach22 2 жыл бұрын

@@unfinishedfootsteps1404 The quality of the encode needs to be considered as well. Even though Dolby Digital can achieve the same audio quality as DTS at lower bitrates, comparing a streaming service’s audio to the very high bitrate audio on blu-ray is not comparing apples to apples.

@@philindeblanc Hi Phil, if you do a search it's quite easy to find. The general consensus is that Dolby produces lower bitrates than DTS for the same quality (comparing sound accuracy, signal-noise ratio etc.). Even when comparing lossless formats which are still compressed but are identical to the original uncompressed audio, Dolby does it with lower bitrates again.

Surely, if a game has a headphone mix and you are listening to the in-game audio through your headphones, none of this matters? The headphone mix is supposed to be binaural.
