14 speakers and 1 subwoofer; new Dolby code

Current standards provide up to 8 separate channels for audio but Dolby Labs have used Intel’s new VIIV and Pro Logic IIx to up-sample those channels to 14.1. Sure, while it is not encoded in those channels natively, testers did claim to hear a difference.

Dolby does not have any intentions on producing this anytime soon. Simply because none of the optical formats support this kind of signal.
