Dts 5.1 Music Cd
Dts 5.1 Cd Review
I bought a seperate all in one, Sony blu ray surround system ( purely for Pete's DTS discs, but dont tell my wife that ;-) ) The DTS 5.1 FAX sounds just amazing on this. If you dont want to go with the all in one solution you are talking Bluray or DVD player, homecinema av amp, 5/7 speakers all purchased and researched separately. Will give amazing sound but a lot of hassle.
I have never come across a CD player that would play DTS discs in 5.1.
What about getting a separate, smallish, mini system for your CDs, some good stuff available fairly cheaply from the likes of Onkyo, Pioneer, Denon etc. Although I have just checked there and my Sony surround also plays normal CDs and you can set up the speakers to be just stereo. This would never be as good as my main hifi separates though, but it is possible.
All depends on your overall budget and which country you are in I suppose. Good luck and it is DEFINTELY worth playing FAX in DTS. Pete was a real fan of that sound and I can totally understand why.
PS CD multiplayers tend to be of poor mechanical transport and sound quality I believe. Best to go for a single proper job.
Every CD player that has a digital output (optical or coaxial) will play a DTS disc in 5.1 when it is connected with the digital output to a surround receiver that has a build-in DTS decoder. I first couldn't believe it myself untill I tried to play the DTS disc in my CD player. The DTS-CD, DTS Audio CD or 5.1 Music Disc (official name) is an audio Compact Disc that contains music in surround sound format. It is a predecessor of DVD Audio. Technically, it conforms to the Red Book standard, except for the way the music is encoded on the CD. Get the best deals for dts 5.1 cd at eBay.com.

DTS CD: Compressed at roughly 5:1 with a 44khz sampling rate DTS DVD Audio: Compressed at roughly 3:1 with a 48khz sampling rate. DTS 96/24 audio discs actually have a higher compression rate, closer to the DTS CD spec to add the ultrasonic extras. But then again, a lossy codec increasing it's compression, thus throwing away more original data, to add data most people can't hear. Is just classic marketing BS in my book. I just down loaded Peter Gabriel's 'SO' as an upmixed 5.1 DTS CD and I am quite impressed with how this has been done. There is no over the top aggressive surrounds so reminds me of simply listening to the 2CH album with Neo6 or PLII, but works quite well without the pulling issues that plague some phase/matrix decoders.
