ALL ABOUT MUSIC #2 - Non Surround, Not Covered In Other Threads

[wavelength]

Aren't all the SW 5.1's of Tull (apart from Aqualung) also in lossy DTS?

That's my understanding.

 

[kap'n krunch]

That's my understanding.

Wait..Isn't Aqualung a BD???

They're in dts 24/96 which is technically lossy. However, there is a might big difference between dts 24/96 and core dts (which is 16/48)!

I agree that there's no reason for the format (dts 24/96) to even exist and all that... But it's at least very HD whereas core dts is very much not.
The PITA for consumers is that there are many media players and ripping apps that will only read the core dts part of the dts 24/96 program. (ie. support for the stupid thing sucks) I remember having to futz around for a while hacking different codecs and so on until I was able to decode it correctly. I'm comfortable enough to purchase discs with this format now but I imagine them getting lots of returns.

Thanks for clearing that up

Yeah, box has 1 x BDA and 1 x DVD-V (Dolby Digital) of 5.1.. they coulda saved a few quid, skipped the BD and just done it as DVD-A with DTS 96/24 in the Video TS (imho, ymmv, etc) and covered all bases. ah well..

Does anyone have this one

You better snatch up the used one at $20.50. I wonder, is it in surround or stereo?

 

[Perp]

I found this one here. Though, still searching for a complete description.

 

[Perp]

I found an image and it states it's in 5.1.

I'm sitting here listening to a-ha and it just hit me. I totally forgot about the Audio Fidelity version of The Doors quad. I'm not in a hurry because I'm listening to my new speakers that make two channel sound like surround. And they're only two speakers.
