Re: Is it even worth it?

I’m comparing the core track to the lossless track. With DTS the core is actually part of the lossless. With Dolby True HD the lossy track is a separate track.

That is somewhat dependent on how you define track, but that’s a different topic…

I compared both by switching between the HDMI port and the Toslink port on the receiver. The player output over both at the same time and I just needed to switch inputs. Video was by component and HDMI which also output at the same time.

I’ve never tried to replicate that scenario so I can’t speak to it directly, but with PC players (like PDVD) you can select the bit streaming mode over HDMI and I have to disagree with your results.
Also, with many newer releases including 7.1 lossless tracks I’m pretty sure the lossly track is limited to 6.1 channels but is usually 5.1.
