DTS has announced that more than 100 million consumer electronics products sold to date contain DTS-licensed technology and intellectual property.

Introduced in 1997 as DTS Digital Surround, the technology is now found in all segments of the consumer electronics industry, including home theatre, car audio, video game consoles, PC systems and broadcast applications.

More than 300 consumer electronics manufacturers worldwide currently license DTS technology. DTS-licensed products include DVD players, receivers, amplifiers, pre-amps, video game consoles, car audio processors and head units, PC-based software decoders and 5.1-channel speaker systems for the PC.

DTS Digital Surround is based on Coherent Acoustics, the company’s patented audio architecture. Unit sales of consumer electronics products with DTS Digital Surround reached 3,000 units in its first year of availability. Since then, DTS Digital Surround has developed new extensions of multi-channel audio technology, including DTS-ES (6.1-channel), DTS Neo:6 (matrix surround), DTS 96/24 (high resolution), and DTS Interactive (for video games).

DTS debuted in 1993 in the motion picture industry with the premiere of Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park”. Today, more than 21,000 motion picture screens worldwide utilize DTS Digital Sound playback systems.

how does this compare to Dolby Labs with Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital technology? 400-500 Million?

DTS is much better sound than DD. It is compressed far less.
For me and I suspect most people, given the choice I would bet that 99% of the people would pick the DTS track.

Not me. I've never picked the DTS track. The number one reason would be that I've got no test tones to balance a DTS system with. How do others do it? Without a properly balanced system, you can't make a fair apples-to-apples comparison.

Not me. I've never picked the DTS track.


Gotta be difficult huh? :lol:
Maybe I am not following you but once you set your system up, it is the DTS decoder that balances. No?

My system when using a DTS track is easily superior to a DD track. And I would suspect that anyone would think so when hearing the two.
