I know their uncompressed tracks get rave reveiws here but does that mean that their DD tracks are great for DD quality?
Also, with my current setup of an Outlaw 970 and 7075 amp with Aperion 5.1 HT speakers, am i giong to notice a big difference between PCM Audio and DD once i upgrade my Outlaw 970 or do i need an even higher end system to hear the difference between DD and PCM Audio?

'Revenge' features an amateurish Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track (640kbps) and a truly wonderful uncompressed PCM 5.1 mix (4.6 Mbps). I've never reviewed a disc with two tracks that were so startlingly different -- dialogue on the Dolby track sounds terribly hollow, treble ranges ring and echo in some instances, and explosions and gunfire sound like bottle rockets and cap guns. On the flipside, the PCM track was richer, fuller, and defined sound effects much more clearly in its well prioritized soundfield. If I were grading the two mixes separately, it would be a full two star difference.
