DTS Connect

To get the most out of your audio entertainment across all formats and quality levels, DTS Connect combines two technologies, DTS Neo:PC™ upmixes stereo sources (CDs, MP3s, WMAs, Internet radio) into as many as 7.1 channels of incredible surround sound. Consumers can connect their PC to a home theater system. DTS Interactive is capable of performing mult-channel encoding of DTS bitstreams on personal computers, and sending encoded bitstreams out of a digital audio connection (such as S/PDIF or HDMI) designed to deliver audio to an external decoder.

DTS UltraPC II

DTS UltraPC II delivers a superior surround sound experience through your system’s speakers and headphones while monitoring and balancing the loudness level difference between digital audio formats. It also enhances audio settings by augmenting low and high frequencies of musical tones, restores compressed or re-mastered sounds, improves bass performance even without a subwoofer, and improves dialogue derived from DVD or Blu-ray Disc™.
