Below represented tech specs of both streams:

Duration (min:sec) Bitrate (kbps) Size (mb) Channels Bit Depth
DTS-HD MA 02:21 4006 68 6 24
DTS Core 02:21 1509 26 6 24

From 6 channels let's pick up front center (i.e. FC) as a lead channel. To find the sound leftover, it will be enough to subtract DTS Core from DTS-HD Master Audio. The difference spectrograms will look like:

Audibly, what is left is sort of high-frequency hiss/noise around -80 dB, nothing important or audible.
