Ok, I'll play the devils advocate and ask, why should I care about the DTS-6ad's poor analog processing, when I plan to only use analog for rare backup? I'm just asking.
Manny, because of budget. Dolby would cost me about $16,000 more for 3 screens of digital. These are relatively small house's in a relatively small town. Budget is limited. And with my limited experience, to me DTS provides just as good or better "dynamic" sound experience.
Steve, Brad, anyone else, please educate me as to why the XD-10 is a better choice over the 6d. I've read the manual for the XD-10, sounds like a neat toy. But I'm not keen on adding the hard drive into the failure equation. We don't do a lot of film swapping from auditorium to auditorium, so that limits the plus of storing sound tracks on the HD. Or am I missing the bigger picture here?
And as far as it's video capabilities, DTS lacks in explaining why I want or need this? What is the price dif over the 6d? Does the price of it put it into Dolby territory?
My experience with hard drives over the years has not given me a warm fuzzy feeling about relying on them for sound presentation. They give me enough fits just selling tickets.
Thank you to everyone replying to this thread. I really (always) appreciate the opinions.
