...AND uncompressed sound, TWO noticable advantages.

 

Uncompressed sound is not an advantage.  Lossless sound is an advantage.  If you compress something lossless, you produce /exactly/ the same stream when it uncompresses as if it was never compressed in the first place.  That's just a fact.

Higher quality sound is primarily an advantage of HDMI as digital optical could only support 1.5Mbit/second feeds.  But telling the difference between 1.5mbit/second and significantly higher bitrates will be fairly difficult for 5.1 sound.

What blazinhead69 said.  Bottom line however you want to state it is that audio on Blu-ray is better than conventional DVD's.
