Yes, the 4K has DTS-X, the Blu-ray had a DTS-HD MA, whereas the original DVDs had DD 5.1, and the french 3 disc edition has special DTS tracks that were adjusted for maximum impact.
The mix is supposed to be loud, compressed and in your face, not confortable and clear. On the 4K, the off screen voices commenting the action are completely clean and clear, whereas on the DVDs, they are drowned by the surrounding music and noises.

Interesting, I remember reading on OT that the LD DTS mix was superior to the Blu-ray so presumably the French DVD is the same mix. Would be very interested to hear it if you get round to it.

I would need to convert back to 23.976 though, as it is Pal shifted + need to make sure the pitch is correct.

Using BD info, I'm able to pinpoint the delay in all the 007 films in UHD from iTunes in contrast to the Blu-ray discs.
I will post the info for each of them so that people can remux all the subs or dubs they want.

Love this thread BDgeek! I'm muxing the 4K Avengers with the Blu-ray 7.1 track right now.
Please share any other data you've figured out in terms of audio comparisons/delays.

I actually need to make some corrections. I recently discovered that the method I was using to compare video tracks could be off by a frame. I'm now using a better method and the correct delays are as follows:
Iron Man (2008)
BD DTS-HD MA 7.1 to UHD-BD -2002ms.
Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014)
2D BD DTS-HD MA 7.1 to UHD-BD +41ms.
Where a movie has been given an object-based remix I always like to keep a channel-based mix as an option. Whether these are any closer to the original theatrical mix or not, who knows?

I could do this for a lot of the DEFLATE 4K WEB releases of the 007 movies. Are the AJP69 releases higher quality?
