Sorry I did not respond to your posts earlier, over on the SACD forum (Hi-Rez Highway). I was not exactly certain what you meant at first.Regarding DTS tracks vs. DVD-A MLP tracks, I agree with Sound Guy (in the post below).
At the same time, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the DTS tracks on some DVD videos. I just listened to and watched the Opus Arte DVD-Video of Rachmaninoff’s opera, “The Miserly Knight”. Maybe it was because I wasn’t expecting much, but I found the DTS sound track very impressive, conveying a nice sense of space, even though I know it’s a lossy compression scheme. I also found the DTS track of the Paris production of Prokofiev’s “War and Peace” on a TDK DVD-Video surprisingly good (not as good as the Rachmaninoff, however).
In addition to the DTS tracks on DVD videos, there are DTS audio discs. (This is where my confusion about your original question arose.) Again, I’ve found some of these discs to be of surprisingly high quality. I recently acquired two DTS audio discs (on the Coviello label) of Bruckner Symphonies 7 and 8 (with the Aachen Symphony). I actually acquired these discs by mistake (!) because there were listed as DVD-Audios on the HMV Japan web site! In the event however, they turned out to be surprisingly fine sounding discs with interesting interpretations from the conductor (Marcus Bosch).
Another DTS audio disc which I’ve had good luck with is the DTS Entertainment disc of a performance of the St. John Passion given in Portland, Oregon. This disc illustrates my contention that it’s less important what the music carrier is than how the performance was recorded in the first place, and the simple microphone technique on this recording pays real, audible dividends.
