Whatever you're using to do DRC sounds horrible. At the same bitrate they should sound similar, but the DRC versions sound like half the bitrate. I don't know how that could happen.

The 6 channel audio is more like 3 channel (stereo + center), I get nothing out of the rear or sub. The 2-ch DPL and the 6-ch both sound pretty good, though I get slightly more high frequency artifacts out of the former.

On headphones, the two channel is almost unlistenable, whether expanded or kept as stereo. The artifacts are just too obvious. The 6-channel is fine, having double the bitrate really helps significantly. After a few repeats, I started getting used to the 2-channel as well...

Mooooooo!
