Disable DTS-HD and keep only DTS - you hear the difference? Or you don't?
I maybe hear a difference. Difficult to say. The core track at 1.5mbit is pretty decent anyway. I tell myself there's just *more* to the HD track. Sounds more...spacious, - is the best way I can describe it. Some movies are more easy to tell than others. I ripped Frozen from my Blu-ray to my Mac mini (which could only play the core track), and the difference between the core 1.5Mbit and the DTS MA track was obvious to me during the end-credits song.
I know some people will say BS, but in a blind test I picked out the DTS MA track every time. The wife was impressed. Of course, some movies will be much harder to tell a difference, especially when there's no music etc involved.
I like the new "Keep Audio Device Alive" setting in XBMC Gotham. I hope Plex gets it soon, since it's annoying to pause/resume a movie and have no audio for quite a few seconds..
