I just bought this Stereo FLAC download

[sukothai]

Hi Sukothai it Snoooooooooood :banana:

Question about above statement referring to Cirlinca burning FLAC files to DVD?? Will it burn 5.1 FLAC files to DVD as 5.1 surround?

Yes, Cirlinca will burn the 5.1 FLAC to 5.1 DVD-A. Cirlinca decompresses the FLAC to WAV (PCM) before burning, but will not do MLP compression; so there is one caveat.

The caveat:
Since DVD-A is limited to 9.6 Mbps and 5.1 channels of 96/24 = (6*96000*24) = 13.824 Mbps, you will need to down convert your channels to 48/24 before using Cirlinca since it doesn't support MLP. Actually, Cirlinca will down convert for you, but I have more trust in AudioMuxer; so I down convert the FLAC with AudioMuxer first before burning with Cirlinca.

If your source FLAC is already 48/24 or less, then there are no caveats and you can burn away.

I use Cirlinca "HD-Audio Solo Ultra 4.4" to burn FLAC to DVD, but I'm not sure if it will work with Wine.

Cirlanca Kicked Ass - Thank You Sukothai & Cygnus :snoodhug:. The free trial gives you like 30 days or like 5 dvd-audio burns (something like that)

After burning about 5 albums that Snood had just the 5.1 flacs.........they played perfectly.

So Snood sprung for the 68 dollar license :yikes - but it burned so gooooooooood :banana:

Might have to buy some cheaper Rum for the next couple months

I dunno. It sounds OK, nothing ground breaking. The DR is low on this...well, 7-8 I'd say. It's loud too....rocks pretty good I guess. I bet the recently released SACD is better....

So you bought both?

 

[GOS]

So you bought both?

No, I don't have the SACD yet.....for some reason, I thought the download would give me an indication how the SACD sounds...but that's probably not even accurate thinking...

I've got the Heartbeat City download (24/192) but I will be buying the SACD when it becomes available.

 

[cupboy]

This is a pretty good deal. Cheapest download ever, besides those occasional free ones.

Excellent bass!

Probably not a good indication since the mastering engineer and transfer process is different at Warner and Mobile Fidelity.
The Mobile Fidelity SACD of The Cars is very good indeed. A winner !

Airbag - Disconnected (pre order) https://airbagsound.bandcamp.com/album/disconnected



Freedom To Glide - Fall (pre order) https://freedomtoglide.bandcamp.com/album/fall



I know it is a bit silly to pre order a digital release, but still it is a good way to show support to these guys.

In the mood for some organ music today. This is the first classical album I've ever downloaded... 24 bit, 178.4 k ... odd how this isn't out on DSD or SACD. It comes with a 20 page PDF booklet.

In the mood for some organ music today.

Great choice - what a wonderful symphony. I love how the Presto movement trails off so gently and quietly, then the Maestoso knocks you out of your seat, whee! Plus, being in the key of C, there's real 16 Hz goodness in those organ pedal notes on a good recording.

Back when I had a really good car system with nicely-tuned subs, I might have been known to crank up the Maestoso on the occasion of having to sit at a red light next to some kids playing obnoxious, boomy hip-hop music. The looks on their faces was priceless.

For $1.49, (ProStudioMasters) why not? Beck's new single.

Huh, never thought of buying singles...

 

[cupboy]

Picked this up cheap. It has the entire contents of the stereo version of the DVD-A. Orig album, new mix album, and all those bonus tracks, except that the bonus tracks are 44.1. The rest is 24/96.

 

[Woody71]

Picked up Huey Lewis & The News 'Sports', and Coldplay 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' from Pono, both in 24/96... and 'Pure McCartney' [Deluxe 24/44] and The Monkees 'Good Times' [24/48] from HDTracks.
Also got Radiohead's 'A Moon Shaped Pool' as a 24/44 bonus download when I bought the Limited Edition white vinyl. Loving it.
