DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete contains an individual, completely discrete center surround channel, along with the standard 5.1 channels. This is the premium way to listen to 6.1 content. Exclusive to DTS on DVD, 6.1 discrete channels improve localization and clarity of sounds, compared to other 6.1 matrix technologies. 6.1 matrix technologies create a faux center surround channel with content derived from the left and right surround channels to give the experience of sound from the center surround speaker.
Users who purchased the DTS-HD Master Audio Suite (MAS)/DTS Surround Audio Suite (SAS) v1.0/1.1 received the SoundCode DTS-HD StreamPlayer™ plug-in, made by Neyrinck, for Pro Tools®. Since v1.5, the MAS and SAS packages contain the completely standalone DTS-HD StreamPlayer from DTS. This allows the user to play back encoded streams without the need for a digital audio workstation. Owners of the MAS/SAS v1.0/1.1 may update to MAS v2.5 and install the standalone DTS-HD StreamPlayer for free by registering their product here. The SoundCode DTS-HD StreamPlayer can still be purchased separately at www.neyrinck.com.

Because DTS Music Disc utilizes an encoded .wav file, most CD burning programs (Toast, Nero, etc.) are capable of creating DTS Music Discs using standard CD-R media.
1. Non-OS internal drives are recommended for both encoding with the DTS-HD Encoder as well as content playback with the DTS-HD StreamPlayer.
2. If a non-OS internal drive is not available, DTS recommends using external drives, such as 7200RPM FireWire 800 drives. When using external drives, DTS highly recommends the audio and video files be located on separate external FireWire drives for DTS-HD StreamPlayer playback.
3. Network attached drives can also be used for storing encoded streams. Disk I/O times will vary according to network parameters and settings. Please consult your network administrators for information related to network attached drives.
