Hi guys,


I realize that DD+ is a lossy codec but I was wondering what the sampling frequency and bit depth are?


I have seen it noted on these forums that Universal DD+ 1.5mbps tracks are 48/24; is this the case regardless of the of the track's bit rate? In other words I was wondering whether the same holds true for the Warner tracks that are typically 640kbps and Paramount tracks that are typically 1.5mbps per second.


I have also noticed that some of the TrueHD tracks are 48/16; in a case such as that would the 48/24 lossy track at 1.5mbps sound better?

DD+ supports arbitrary bit depths. As to whether 24-bit would sound better than 16-bit? Source and equipment dependent.

I'd suggest to read the thread from that post to the end, cause Roger has posted some more comments later in the thread.
