Edit: in any case, mine is just a question. I don't particularly care for HD bistreaming. DTS full bitrate has been deemed perceptually transparent in pretty much all tests. And I judge my amp by the quality of the current it outputs, not by the lights I manage to turn on.
This patches and AE are not about DTS vs DTS-HD, because it is discussed to death everywhere on the net. Of course, there is no difference between PCM and losslessly compressed versions of the same PCM original. If it is done right, it's PCM = DTS-HD = TrueHD. Studios want to use the extra space for more extras, tracks, etc., and lossless codecs make it possible with no loss in quality.
Here is my take on DTS-HD/TrueHD:
When I move to another house- I can either transport my blu-ray discs just the way it is (stacks in several racks) which may be bulky or I can pile all of it neatly in a single box (less bulky and more convenient and save space in my truck), and drive over there and then put it back together again - either way when I'm done the blu-ray discs will be in the rack exactly the same as at the old home.
