I haven't looked through all of those links, but the 2 codecs are basically identical on the inside. Unlike the SACD vs DVD-Audio debate where they are technically different. (although sound pretty much the same)

Re: whats thE diffrence in in DTS AND TRUE HD ?

just keep in mind......there is definitely a difference between DTS and DTS Master Audio. (OP just said DTS, not DTS-MA)
The latter is a lossless format. The former is not.

Therefore, given the original choice of Dolby True HD vs DTS, True HD is better.
If it's True HD vs DTS Master Audio? About the same IMO.

As an aside: in the DVD days, the general consensus usually seemed to be that DTS soundtracks sounded better than Dolby 5.1 soundtracks. I think this may be where the OP's confusion is coming from
