I have the standard DD version, is it worth getting this just for the DTS?

If it`s the same as the R1 dts version then YES! There are quite a few discs around where the dts and dd soundtracks are too similar to make a constructive comparison but in the case of Saving Private Ryan the dts track wins easily. Although it isn`t a full bit-rate dts track, it most certainly is one of the best dts soundtracks you`ll ever hear. When it comes out, get it. You won`t be sorry I promise you.

Just looked on your profile:

Not too biased?

When I can be bothered, I will update my profile to include my new set-up. Having listened to a lot more soundtracks since I originally posted my profile, there are a lot of discs where the dts version isn`t any better than the dd one ( and quite a few where the dd outshines the dts ). As for SPR though, the dts track IS considerably better than the dd - at least on the R1 version. I did do a comparison as my mate had the dolby one so I`m not being biased in the least ( unlike some dts fans who think that every dts track is better than the dd ). I still consider myself to be a dts freak but thats only because most of the best soundtracks I have on dvd happen to be dts - especially when it comes to music!

I don`t mean to rain down on your parade, but the best soundtrack on DVD is the DD 5.1 on Attack Of The Clones ;-)
Dare to disagree with me :-P

I think the DTS on T2 Ultimate Edition comes very close

Chewie, I actually think that the phantom menace has a better soundtrack than attack of the clones by quite a margin

Well, Phantom Menace has an ace soundtrack, but it doesn`t have the same kick that AOTC has. Go to when a lightsabre is turned on in TPM, then in AOTC. AOTC wins every time because the bass is much better, and the channels seem more alive.
JMHO ;-)

Chewie I agree with what you are saying but I feel that the AOTC soundtrack seems a lot more forced and un-natural it`s a bit like a pixar soundtrack brilliant but cartoony.
