| Feature | DTS-HD MA Suite v2.60.22 | Modern encoders (e.g., FFmpeg libdca, or official DTS Encoder Suite v4) | |--------|---------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------| | DTS-HD MA lossless | ✅ | ✅ (FFmpeg can decode but not encode lossless DTS-HD — only official tools can encode) | | DTS:X / IMAX Enhanced | ❌ | ✅ (v4+) | | 3D Audio (MPEG-H) | ❌ | ✅ (via DTS:X Pro) | | Windows 11 compatible | ⚠️ (may need legacy components) | ✅ | | License cost | Free (if cracked) / $??? (legacy) | Thousands USD/year | "Audio is very quiet":
