You got it backwards. Almost all dvd are mastered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are about 4000 titles available (most with DD). There are about 20 or so DVD titles available with DTS encoding. Put your money into a quality dd decoder. Dont worry much about DTS. DTS might catch on for 5.1 channel audio, but DVD video with DTS is still up in the air. If you want seperates, look at Rotel, if you want an integrated unit, look at Yamaha and Denon. Most of the uppper end Denon and Yamaha (in the $1500+ range) units decode both DD and DTS formats. Good luck
