Thanks for the information. From what you say, Decorrelation does not apply to
Dolby Digital.
Going back to my Quadraphonic days, one thing that I can tell you, the
difference between matrixed and discrete is a difference of night and day. The
best quadraphonic album I have had was a 4 channel reel to reel copy of BTO's
"Not Fragile".
But the hiss really bothers me. That's about the only thing that makes me
tolerate digital over analog. I hate hiss even more than what digital
processing does to the sound.
