dts question

I am thinking of upgrading my system by incorporating a dts decoder. I already have a dolby digital decoder though. Does anyone know the difference and know if it is worth getting into. Is there a noticable differnece betweene dts and dolby digital. And if there is a difference, is it small or large.

any inputs will be greatly appriciated...

Either way, i think Attack of the clones has about the best sound of any movie out there.

What I find to be the biggest difference between DTS and DD, is that the sound is more enveloping in DTS. Sometimes I could swear that there are speakers all around me, and not just in the front and back. I am still only using a 5.1 setup. It does seem that Dolby Digital has gotten better though.
My picks for best DTS movies would probably be:
Twister
Lost World (Jurasic Park)

I can't imagine attack of the clones in DTS since George Lucas's DD-THX format competes with DTS.

Apology excepted Brainwater, I'm still going to check out the haunting again :^)

Another great DTS is Diana Krall in Paris

I couldn't agree more with Glen on his "Diana Krall
in Paris". It is spellbinding.
Now off to Netflix, and find out what all this talk
about "Attact of the Clones" is about. Thanks guys.
