It's actually Dolby Digital vs DTS. And it's longtime popular debate among HT geeks. If you do a serach on the forum, you'll find much more info than will be rehashed here.

Here's a good story about the technical differences between the two formats.

and beyond technical differences, most people (but not everyone) think DTS is a more aggressive soundtrack, with more lower frequency and overall just sounds better

I would say a LOT of people feel this way, but I'm not sure about most.

I've heard a few Dolby tracks that best their DTS counterparts: From Hell, The Rock Criterion Collection, and Men in Black Superbit. But nine times out of ten, DTS is better in my experiences.

I'm sure others feel the same way. Before this turns into another Dolby Digital vs dts debate, I'm asking that future comments regarding which is "better" be posted in the thread aintnosin referred to:

Thanks!
