Mine is out for delivery today as well. I'll be checking it out tonight after a couple of well-deserved Hazy IPA's.

The 5.1 mix on this is a lot lower in volume than the dvd-a. Not sure if more dynamic or not.

Got mine in! Immediately made a rip, and am making a bunch of rips for new arrivals and then sitting down and giving it and Red a spin!

Mine arrived today. I think it’s the first time I’ve gotten a pre order from Amazon on release day!

Perhaps because they now employ PINK ROBOTS at their newest shipping facilities!

Just listened to the first track and compared the Atmos to the 5.1. It is surprisingly LESS adventurous than the 5.1, the vocals are more washed out, and the bass isn't as tight. They've also replaced "The test begins NOW" and "The test is over" with, well, noise.

I hope this isn't indicative of the rest of the disc. Yikes...

EDIT:

Wait! The amp for my overhead speakers was off! Ok, going to listen again. Sorry!

Ok, now that I'm actually listening to all 5.1.4 Atmos channels, I still prefer the 5.1 mix. The individual instruments come through clearer, the vocals are more upfront and the bass is punchier. And the 5.1 is much more adventurous. I'm so surprised.

Going to keep going and see how the rest of the album sounds...

Ok, tracks 2 and 3 in Atmos are almost as adventurous as the 5.1. But the fidelity of the 5.1 is SO much better. The bass is deeper, the guitars really cut through, I'm so surprised! It's like the Atmos has a gauze-y haze over it, and the 5.1 is just to PRESENT.

RHINO should've hired Elliot Scheiner to do the ATMOS mix as well. Played the 5.1 DVD~A a few weeks ago on my new system and it was beyond SUPER Fantastic!

I'll test it on my system shortly (just arrived).
