Last night I watched T2: Extreme Edition. It was late so I disabled my speakers, plugged in headphones, and enabled the Dolby Headphone audio track. The movie started and immediately I was mildly annoyed to find that my 5.1 setup was still active and probably waking the neighbours.
So I took the headphones off to go muck with the receiver to find that, in fact, it was only the headphones on! I was completely amazed at the Dolby Headphone track.
My question is this: this movie is rare in that it includes a DH track. If I buy either a receiver or headphone setup with built-in DH decoding, will the quality be comparable? How about the DH processing from software such as PowerDVD?
