Perhaps visually NOT ....... but AURALLY ..........YES! The MLP DVD~A 5.1 is a stunner, at least on my system ...... and I own enough DD/DTS dualdiscs to KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
the waveforms don't tell the whole story but they don't lie; the actual content in each channel of the respective discs is different (please see my additional comments in the edit of my previous message).
edit: sorry Ralph, i don't want to shut down that aspect of the conversation altogether but i feel the "lossy vs lossless" debate is not relevant in this particular instance; the DualDisc multichannel mixes exhibit greater differences than anyone might perceive by taking any old lossless 5.1 mix and encoding it with a lossy codec such as Dolby Digital. if you want i can do just that and "turn" the Britney MLP 5.1 into Dolby Digital 5.1 to illustrate the point (not right now though, i'm away from the computer just grabbing a quick bite of dinner 🍽
edit: upped vote here for the Britney DVD-Audio to an "8" and voted a "5" in Jon's new Britney DualDisc Poll.
