Dolby own the rights to Dolby Headphone, which i guess work with Dolby audio tracks.
DTS Own the rights to DTS Surround Sensation, which I guess works with DTS audio tracks.
I believe DTS is more popular in Europe.
I think Dolby is more widely used in the World
Which is better, not sure.
I know Dolby Headphone but I only heard two tracks with DTS surround sensation on you tube so far and I can't tell which one is better.
Dolby Headphone works with every audio source from 2.0 up to 7.1. It simulates a 2.0 to 5.1 or 7.1 system in three different room environments. I think dts surround sensation works similar but I don't know any sound card that provides the dts feature.

Asus Xonar DS & DSG come with DTS.
Are you sure that the the xonar ds audio card supports dts surround sensation ? It isn't listed in the specifications.

I know the Xonar DS & DSX come with DTS, not sure on DTS Surround Sensation.
Edit, checked around nothing is said about Xonar DS(X) supporting DTS surround Sensation, so I'm guess the DS(X) does not.
