You know when you put your foot down on the stairs, and the step isn't where you thought it would be, and you have a full, dolby digital surround sound vision of your impending demise, and then your foot finds the bloody thing again and you're miraculously not dead, but also distinctly not well either?
Yeah. I'm going to bed now.
(Do people remember the Dolby Digital helicopter thing? The one at the start of every movie in the 90s? The one that deafened you if you had your volume too loud putting on a VHS? This one:

Dolby Digital vs DTS: Which Audio Technology Delivers Superior Sound for Home Theater?
Are you wondering whether to use Dolby Digital or DTS or perhaps Dolby Atmos or DTS:X for your home theater? With the constant creation of new audio formats, it can be difficult to determine which one is right for your needs.
As home cinema equipment continues to advance, several new surround sound formats have emerged in the consumer market, all claiming to deliver accurate audio reproduction. But which format truly lives up to that promise?
To begin, let’s start with a quick overview of the fundamentals and compare two of the most popular surround sound formats available: Dolby Digital and DTS.
What Is Dolby Digital?
Dolby Digital is a digital audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. It is widely used in home theater systems, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
Dolby Digital uses perceptual coding to compress audio data, which means that it can deliver high-quality audio even at lower bitrates. Dolby Digital supports up to 5.1 channels of surround sound, which means that it can deliver directional sound effects and a more immersive audio experience than stereo audio.
What Is DTS?
DTS is another digital audio technology that is used for surround sound. DTS uses a different method of compression than Dolby Digital, called adaptive transform coding, which can result in higher bitrates and better sound quality.
DTS can support up to 7.1 channels of surround sound, which means that it can provide even more immersive audio than Dolby Digital. DTS is widely used in home theater systems, Blu-ray discs, and streaming services like Vudu and Hulu.
Dolby Digital vs DTS: What Is the Similarity?
Both Dolby Digital and DTS use codecs to compress audio data and deliver surround sound to home theater systems.
Both formats are capable of providing multi-channel audio support for common applications like TV shows and movie playback via Blu-ray, DVD, cable and satellite TV systems.
Both Dolby Digital and DTS can be lossy or lossless, meaning that they can either slightly degrade audio quality from the original source or offer lossless studio-level performance while still providing some level of space-saving compression.
Both formats utilize additional technologies like encoders that are specifically designed to enhance stereo and simulate surround sound, as well as an older Pro-Logic standard for simulating surround sound.
Both formats can support a range of bitrates and can convert down or up to match the number of speakers, enhance surround sound, and perform other functions.
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are widely supported by home theater systems, Blu-ray discs, and streaming services.
Dolby Digital vs DTS: What Is the Difference?
DTS and Dolby Digital are both digital audio technologies that are used for surround sound in home theater systems, but there are some key differences between the two.
Compression Method
Dolby Digital uses perceptual coding, a lossy compression method that removes information that is less important to human perception.
DTS uses adaptive transform coding, a more advanced compression method that can preserve more details of the original audio signal.
Number of Channels
Dolby Digital can support up to 5.1 channels of surround sound.
DTS can support up to 7.1 channels of surround sound.
Sound Quality
DTS is often considered to provide higher bitrates and better sound quality, especially for music and sound effects.
Dolby Digital can still provide excellent audio quality for movies and TV shows.
Dolby Digital vs DTS: Which Is Superior for Home Theater?
The choice between Dolby Digital and DTS ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific use case. Both technologies can deliver high-quality audio for home theater systems, but DTS may be superior for those who prioritize music and sound effects.
However, Dolby Digital is still a popular choice and can provide excellent audio quality for movies and TV shows. It’s also worth noting that many modern home theater systems and streaming services support both technologies, so you can enjoy high-quality audio regardless of which format you choose.
If you’re looking for a high-quality audio experience for your home theater system, the AV Access 4KEX40-eARC HDMI Extender with eARC & ARC is an excellent choice. This product supports both Dolby Digital and DTS audio formats, providing you with the flexibility to choose the format that best meets your needs.
The 4KEX40-eARC HDMI Extender also supports 4K UHD video resolution and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), which allows you to transmit high-quality audio from your TV to your home theater system with just one HDMI cable. With its reliable and stable transmission, this extender is a great option for those who want to enjoy a superior audio experience without any interruptions.
Summary
Dolby Digital and DTS are both excellent audio technologies for home theater systems. The choice between the two ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific use case. DTS may be superior for those who prioritize music and sound effects, while Dolby Digital is still a popular choice and can provide excellent audio quality for movies and TV shows.
FAQs
1. What streaming services support Dolby Digital and DTS?
Many streaming services support both Dolby Digital and DTS, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, and Hulu.
2. What devices support Dolby Digital and DTS?
Many modern home theater systems, soundbars, and streaming devices support both Dolby Digital and DTS. However, it’s important to check the specifications of your devices to ensure that they support the audio format you want to use.
3. Do I need special equipment to enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS audio?
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS audio, you will need a device that supports the format and speakers that can reproduce the surround sound effects. Many modern home theater systems, soundbars, and streaming devices support Dolby Digital and DTS, so you may not need to purchase any additional equipment.
4. Can I switch between Dolby Digital and DTS while streaming content?
Whether you can switch between Dolby Digital and DTS while streaming content depends on the specific device and streaming service you are using. Some devices and services allow you to choose the audio format manually, while others automatically select the best format based on your device and network conditions.

As the weird child who watched classical performances on PBS on a black and white tv with tape supporting one of the antennae I broke in a Saturday morning captin crunch sugar infused rage, being a composer or playing an orchestral instrument weren’t dreams a poor kid would consider. Wendy Carlos was my introduction to electronic music and the synthesizer opened up a world of possibilities.
Orchestral arrangements are probably the most difficult to produce digitally given the nuances in playing any instrument. It’s doable and amazing when done well but it requires a lot of patient effort especially if one never outgrew poverty status. Digital music software can be very pricey and orchestral sound packages are often on the higher end given all of the nuances of each instrument. The amount of samples required for a violin’s range of notes and the various ways of bowing or plucking each of those notes is huge so the expense is understandable. There are some surprisingly decent free options that I’ve been working with as I teach myself orchestral production.
It may be a while before I achieve something that sounds good enough for an indie video game with no budget or soundtrack for a fan film shot on an old iphone by a weird 6 year old. Fortunately i have played around with so many synths and samples over many years I was able to produce this arrangement of Clair de Lune. Going back to my first synth influences like Wendy and Jean Michel Jarre I used virtual synths that expressed the piece well - and did so using only 3 tracks and minimal effects. Spitfire Audio Labs was instrumental in my tiny success. Yeah I really went with a groan-worthy pun.
Why i am so hung up on recreating an orchestra when there are so many incredibly rich and dynamic sounds easily found or to create? i once sang in a choir at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral with a string orchestra. Minutes into our first rehearsal i had to fight back tears. I was surrounded by the most beautiful music. The intense feeling of being a tiny part of something huge and amazing was where candy-flipping almost brought me. If i cant get there through chemical means, digital might get me closer. Its not the destination but the journey after all. I could easily get drunk and sing torch songs which can be quite fulfilling (private performances work best).
AI will soon create productions by saying a few words into ones phone so worst case scenario is that I can die having achieved this goal.

I’ll switch to HDTV this November or December
This November or December when new episodes & shows of American TV cartoons premiere in Japan after it premiered in the United States 1 year & 9 months ago, I can say goodbye to 4:3 standard-definition television aka SDTV & say hello to high-definition television aka HDTV in 1080i. HDTV had been around in the United States since 1998, & it does today. Most animated shows in 16:9 aspect ratio (1.78:1) were letterboxed on standard-definition television (usually found on pay television), even Regular Show reruns on Boomerang between May 28th, 2018 & March 3rd, 2019. High-definition television however, still keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio (1.78:1) in all the animated shows, the 4:3 ones are now pillarboxed. I’ll switch to HDTV in Los Angeles & not in Limay, Bataan because analog television in my country didn’t stop until next year. For audio, HDTV used Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound for all animated shows & movies. HDTV features 3 video qualities: 720p, 1080i for interlaced video & 1080p. For televisions themselves, I’ll use 16:9 4K Ultra HD TVs which everybody in my house have nowadays. HDTV in the United States is ATSC which replaced NTSC on June 12, 2009 Friday. By the way, I should never watch Regular Show on both Hulu & HBO Max ether.
