You may think that sounds similar to Dolby Atmos, and you’d be right, but where DTS:X's differences lie in the required speaker configuration. While Dolby Atmos requires adding additional overhead channels to your 5.1 or 7.1 setup, DTS:X works with standard surround speaker setups – just like the one you might already have at home. It can support up to 32 speaker locations and an 11.2-channel system. diff --git a/includes/cf-descriptions/dts.md b/includes/cf-descriptions/dts.md index 02c5f7aa53..06f9ae482c 100644 --- a/includes/cf-descriptions/dts.md +++ b/includes/cf-descriptions/dts.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ -**DTS**

Digital Theater Sound (DTS) is a digital audio technology developed by DTS, Inc, which focuses on digital surround sound formats for consumer and commercial applications as well as theatrical purposes. Compared to the Dolby Digital standard, DTS uses four times less compression and digitizes audio sounds at 20 bits instead of 16 bits. This makes DTS-based audio richer in sound and more detailed than Dolby Digital-based ones. diff --git a/includes/cf-descriptions/flac.md b/includes/cf-descriptions/flac.md index 1c57796cb1..b456f43c48 100644 --- a/includes/cf-descriptions/flac.md +++ b/includes/cf-descriptions/flac.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ -**FLAC**
