Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo DTS audio VS SACD???

>>FYI DTS is analogous to and competes with Dolby Digital, which was developed around 4 years prior (per Wikipedia).

It's not so simple any more. I'm seeing a number of music albums released in DTS audio-only, ie direct competition for SACD and DVD-A except you don't need a universal player and you don't need analog connections (or DenonLink) between the player and the receiver. I think that is what Jinx is asking about.

There is apparently a DTS 96/24 variant which has the same audio resolution as SACD and DVD-A -- I don't remember if the DTS audio disks I noticed were in 96/24 or not. Since I don't remember what the normal DTS resolution is either (I think it's higher than 44/16) perhaps someone else can chime in.

There are also a couple of albums out in DVD 5.1 audio format (not DVD-A) without video, but too few to be a big deal.
