I have the DTS and SACD. AND just scored the DVD-A pretty affordably on discogs!

Sounds like a Life in Surround trifecta comparison episode . . . further on up the road? My main man, Edison--Baggins, that is. How 'bout it (or do you say Hob'bit)?

I'm wondering if, having learned what I did for my last video, about DSD and (lack of) bass-managent, if the DVD-A and SACD will sound the same on my OPPO?! The DTS and SACD certainly have differences.

The DTS is lossy [but still sounds great] and I prefer my DVD~Audio only because my player [the Meridian 800 .... finally repaired] is a champ. But since the album was so well recorded and mixed by the esteemed E. Scheiner, all formats sound credible.

Absolutely and there's also a DVD with DTS 5.1 if you cannot find the DTS disc. Audiophile recording as well. Would be agreat candidate for the full hi res Dutton Vocalion treatment.

My new, still in shrink wrap, DVD copy of this in DD 5.1 arrived today. and I played it immediately! Absolutely wonderful! The arrangements, the playing, and the mixing are all marvelous! I’ve heard this music since I was born. The movie and soundtrack were often played in my house and I have a strong emotional attachment to this music. I was a little worried that the new arrangements might bother me a little, but they didn’t at all...and I have to admit, the music even coaxed out a couple of tears this evening!

Thank you all for turning me on to this release! This is what it’s all about!

I have heard - not sure if accurate - that the DTS mix is different than the SACD/DVD-A mix. The DTS was first, then some refinements were made by the time the SACD and DVD-A were issued.

So good!

It is , glad you agree
