Part 1: About DTS <\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n\nHome theater is full of monikers and acronyms, and one of the most recognizable acronyms in home theater audio are the letters DTS. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems (now officially shortened to just DTS) and is a series of multichannel audio technologies specializing in digital surround sound formats widely used in the film industry, music sharing, and Home Theater.<\/p>\n
As a home theater audio format, DTS (also referred to as DTS Digital Surround or DTS Core) is one of two (along with Dolby Digital 5.1) that got their start with the Laserdisc format, with both formats migrating to DVD upon that format's introduction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nDTS vs. Dolby Digital<\/b><\/p>\n
Basically, DTS and Dolby Digital formats utilize perceptual data reduction techniques, in order to remove futile data in PCM signal output. The result is a preservation of the high fidelity sound. So what then are the differences?<\/p>\n
- The main difference is in the bit rates and compression levels. Dolby digital compresses to a raw bit rate of 640 kilobits per second (kbps), and in contrast DTS compresses to approximately 768 kilobits per second.<\/li>\n
- 640kbits\/s is only applicable to Blu-Ray discs, which is why you see Blu-ray Discs using Dolby digital. DTS requires significantly low compression of about 4:1, which is why it is common with DVDs.<\/li>\n
- DTS HD Master Audio \u2013 7.1ch has its maximum sound capped at 24.5 Mbps (lossless quality), while Dolby TrueHD \u2013 7.1ch has its maximum sound capped at 18 Mbps (lossless quality available on Blu-Ray discs).<\/li>\n
Comparing DTS and Dolby digital is a bit tricky, because higher bitrates do not always mean higher quality. Most importantly, both formats should provide you with premium audio.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nPart 2: Best DTS player recommendations <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Actually, Windows Media Player, VLC, etc and many media players are with certain plugin support DTS. But they do not become the best ones as DTS requires a professional and excellent DTS player to render the most touching multi-surround sound at home just like in the theater. So, here are some top DTS players recommended for you to play DTS.<\/p>\n
