No, only HDMI can transfer DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby True HD.
A Dolby Digital stream from a DVD player can be sent to a high def receiver by digital optical or coaxial cable.
Dolby Digital is a catchall term which includes Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital Live, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD.Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital TrueHD (THD) is more common in cinemas, and far more common in homes.DTS also has several variants- DTS, DTS++, DTS-HD, DTS-HD Master AudioDTS-HD Master offers higher data rates than Dolby Digital TrueHD, and this has led to unfounded claims that DTS is better than Dolby Digital in sound quality.However, under identical mastering conditions, the two systems are indistinguishable from one another, both being lossless formats, are bit perfect when properly decoded into Lossless PCM raw audio, producing exactly identical audio.
Dolby C is a cleaner, more distinct sound than dolby b can produce.
Daniel Dolby's birth name is Daniel James Dolby.
Ray Dolby's birth name is Ray Milton Dolby.
If the receiver contains the first edition of Dolby Pro Logic it will not work with Dolby 5.1. If it contains Dolby Pro Logic II or newer technology it will be backwards compatible.
An optical audio cable is used to transmit digital audio (AC-3) signal from the source to the receiver, such as from a DVD player to a digital audio amplifier/receiver. You can transmit 5.1 dolby digital or DTS surround sound with an optical audio cable, same as digital coaxial audio cable.
HDMI and optical are both physical carriers for data. Whatever signal is put onto the cable or fiber will come out the other end and will be identical quality. The quality of the signal is entirely dependent on the signal source and not the interface cable. The better interface is the one that fits better into the system in question. For an audio only set up, optical fiber will probably be the right choice. For video based systems with soundtracks for video content, HDMI will be the more convenient solution. The important point to note is that neither method will degrade the audio quality nor will either of them enhance quality. The cable or fiber is effectively completely transparent and has no effect on the resulting sound. Please note: HD audio formats like Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio cannot be transferred by optical cable.
Dolby was founded in 1965 in London, England
