Whoopps, sorry, yes, DTS IS indeed better than prologic 2. You are correct.
I meant DTS versus AC3, and I do prefer a high resolution AC3, simply because of the coding. In my book an AC3 file and the same bitrate DTS counterpart compared, seems to me that the AC3 file sounds better. It is also used more these days. Mind you, they are arguing about this in about a 100.000 different forums, so I suggest make it a personal preference. Many people say that DTS sounds more transparent, I honestly don't think so.
As far as decoding is concerned, Prologic 2 does beat prologic by a long shot...

People say DTS sounds better since its less compressed to a comparable dolby digital track. But DTS HD MA and TRUE HD should sound similar since they are at high bit rate.

I think it also has to do with the conversion of each format.
I often find DTS is a bit thinner somehow... at least in a cinema environment.

I think your confused dolby should sound inferior even if you can make out a difference that is because the dolby track has less bits a.k.a less data as compared to a dts track.

Necessarily cos both are made from the original lossless studio master soundtrack, both use compression techniques. The only difference is DTS would be little bit closer to the original soundtrack because of more data as compared to dolby.

Like I said, they are arguing in I don't know how many forums about it.
Compression settings can be set by the user though. I recently found a free wav to ac3 converter which most definitely lets you set the sampling rate. With compressor you can set the sampling rate as well.
The standards may at times apply to requirements within the industry, but not as to what you do with a file.
Which also applies the question, why is DD standard and not DTS? Not voting for either here really...

DD is standard cos its more compression so it takes up less space. Which is why if you notice the cinema 35mm reel. It has a dolby digital track encoded right on to it as it requires less space compared to DTS.
But DTS has a separate DTS CD where all the sound data is stored and on the 35 mm reel is just the timecode so it knows which part of the sound should be played.
