I can tell you their DTS is not old DTS. I have the Panasonic BD30K and an Onyko TX-SR875 hooked up to JBL speakers. You can tell the considerable difference between PCM and DTS-HD (TrueHD as well). I have an HD DVD (Faceoff/Paramount played on an A35) that has 6.1 old DTS and you can tell the difference between that DTS and DTS-HD. I don't want my reciever to have to convert the uncompress audio to another format.
Also Hitman is "English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio" No Country for Old Men is "English Uncompressed PCM 5.1 Surround"
I understand the idea that, yes they are both 48Hz/24bit, but its the format itself. There is a difference between Uncompressed and DTS-HD/TrueHD with the right reciever. It just bothers me that Blu-ray has been touting this 7.1 surround sound, yet where is it? I'm hooked on HD movies I just want the very best, because this is suppose to take over for DVD. I want more of a difference then just uncompressed audio 5.1 slaped onto a 1080p movie.
