Well, this just cannot be the case as this has been experimented with in a credible DBT and also published in JAES that there is no audible difference unless the CD is a different mastering/EQing from SACD or is multi channel compared to stereo. http://www.bostonaudiosociety.org/explanation.htm Has there been a DBT, with the same mastering, between a DTS or DTS-HD or Dolby Digital or Dolby True HD? I'd be really interested just to see how close or far the differences are.
