two years pass...

How much is lost on regular speakers? Is it that noticeable? Will only audiophiles notice the difference?

They'll definitely say they do.

Would a regular music fan hear the difference? Is it true it could damage incompatible headphones?

Seems to be DTS, just whatever those 5.1 cd remasters of classic albums are. Those Steven Wilson mixes are what I'm looking at.

But maybe it's just the dvd bonus disc that has the 5.1, actually that's probably what it is. All worried over nothing I guess.
