The previously posted info is not quite right:
DTS is up to 5.1 channels and 24bit@96khz with maximum bitrate of 1.5mbps (lossy format).
DTS-HD HRA is up to 7.1 channels and 24bit@96khz with maximum bitrate of 6mbps (so is still Lossy).
DTS-HD MA has no defined maximum number of channels or bitrate, however Blu-Ray spec specifies up to 5.1 channels and 24bit@192khz and up to 7.1 channels and 24bit@96khz with both having a maximum bitrate of 24mbps (this is lossless).
DTS-HD HRA and DTS-HD MA use the same extension framework which is know simply as DTS-HD, hence any device specifying DTS-HD should support both formats, which why Windows only bothers to show DTS-HD as it implicitly means support for both.
