D STAR or DMR. Which has better sound?

Some people say D STAR has better audio than DMR.
I say they're crazy!
D STAR uses the AMBE+ vocoder and DMR uses the AMBE2+. AMBE2+ is a later and improved version, so of course it will be better. If you don't believe me, watch the two videos below:

    Hi,

    Don't forget that even if the vocoder is assumed to perform better, that is not the only link in the chain. I have heard both in action, and the results varied.

    Does anyone have D-STAR .amb files they could send me for testing?
