Both are great systems, but between the two, DTS is better than Dolby digital. Both use MP3-like techniques for making the audio file smaller, the more you "compress" the audio to make file smaller the lower the quality, DTS's files are much larger and therefore better quality, the down side is because of the larger file size there is less space for extra's features on the disc such as other languages.
