Although DTS-HD MA, and the related DTS-HD, allow virtually any number of channels in the abstract, these limits are imposed for practical reasons of limited storage and bitrate availability. DTS-HD MA has enjoyed the greater share of this market since 2010, with the notable exception of the TrueHD-encoded Dolby Atmos spatial surround format, which is more popular than DTS's competing DTS:X (encoded with DTS-HD MA).ĭTS-HD MA can store up to 8 discrete channels of audio ( 7.1 surround) at up to a 24 bit sample depth and 192 kHz sampling frequency (96 kHz for 6.1 or 7.1 surround). DTS-HD MA's primary application is audio storage and playback for Blu-ray Disc media it competes in this respect with Dolby TrueHD, another lossless surround format. This gives DTS-HD MA a lossy "core" able to be played back by devices that cannot decode the more complex lossless audio. Rather than being an entirely new coding mechanism, DTS-HD MA encodes an audio master in lossy DTS first, then stores a concurrent stream of supplementary data representing whatever the DTS encoder discarded. Lossless audio codec for home theater DTS-HD Master AudioĭTS-HD Master Audio ( DTS-HD MA known as DTS++ before 2004 ) is a multi-channel, lossless audio codec developed by DTS as an extension of the lossy DTS Coherent Acoustics codec (DTS CA usually itself referred to as just DTS).
