Instead you would maybe have 1200Kbps or something like that for 5.1 and the rest for the additional channels. But thanks to DTS-HD the XXCh extension could be moved to the DTS-HD block, so the full bitrate of the core could be spent on 5.1. So you should have a really good sounding 5.1 core.
That's a good way of looking at it, I was more dissapointed with the fact there was no HD data attatched to the core. It's no big deal though, I will enjoy it regardless.

Thanks again for the help.
