DTS is THE best sound format available.   Although there are few DTS movie discs available, Home-Cinema enthusiasts are familiar with the mind blowing sound of DTS on Laserdisc.  DTS takes up 3 times the space on a disc as a Dolby Digital 5.1 / AC-3 track, due to it's clarity and depth that every Audiophile will love.  See our list of DTS compatible players here.
