You don't say what type of Mac you have. You have to have a Mac that has built in support for optical digital audio output for the support in Panther to work and of course an appropriate set of speakers.

Tried to import a DTS Sting album and got no-where.

Not all the audio formats support more than 2 channels (stereo) of audio. I'm not surprised you didn't get much of anywhere.combatcolin said:
i´ve got an ibook 12 (coupled with a stereo set trough the audio output )so as far as i know it should be okay , shouldn´t it ?

Panther will decode DTS through the digital output of a G5 (or new PowerBook) connected to a DTS enable receiver and speakers.
If you don't have a digital audio output as standard on your Mac, find an audio interface that has one (there are a few).
This will then play DTS from the DVD player through the digi out.
I'm not sure if Quicktime will deliver DTS from a file however.

DTS is standard on virtually all AV amps, use one of these and buy youself a good set of speakers, you don't need massive speakers in a bedroom esp if your going to be sitting very close to them.
try www.kef.com for a good set.

Strangely I was fixing that as you were typing it seems, now I should change it back to keep the joke... 😀
QuickTime will not play DTS or AC3 files from a file, only the DVD player will decode and play those, althought the DVD player will play both from a VIDEO_TS folder.
