The
DTS-CD, DTS Audio CD or 5.1 Music
Disc
(official name) is an audio Compact Disc that contains music in surround
sound format. It is a predecessor of DVD Audio. Technically, it conforms
to the Red Book standard, except for the way the music is encoded on
the CD. Where regular CD's store the music as linear PCM, the
DTS-CD stores music using the DTS format.
As opposed to other surround
formats, such as SACD and DVD audio, which usually requires a specialized
player, a DTS-CD is compatible with most, if not all, standard CD players
with a digital (S/PDIF) output, only requiring a receiver that can decode
DTS tracks.
