From the 4earredwonder archives a fantastic MLP DVD~A 5.1 [WARNER/ERATO]: Yutaka Sado: Hommage a l'Orchestre Lamoreux: Chabrier's España and Ravel's Boléro http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...UTF8&me=&qid=1453984168&sr=1-2&tag=acleint-20 From $2.95 used @ Amazon. BUY IT!

Also listened to Hearts tonight. I'll reserve my opinion after a second listen.

The AF Stereo Remaster of Loggins & Messina's Sittin' In is TO DIE FOR. Fu**king Unbelievable. It was like hearing it for the first time.....it's THAT Good. Now if we can only get L&M's QUAD FULL SAIL from AF....I'd be a happy camper :banana: ....even though I hate camping!:ugham:
 
I still have yet to receive my "Blow by Blow" SACD, but it's technically Quad, not 5.1, unless they created 'fake' center and LFE channels to make it a 5.1 disc. Can anyone confirm if they did that for this disc or not? (Not that it matters to me. I'm sure I'll enjoy it either way.) :)

There's a faux Centre and LFE on the old SACD, don't know about the more recent one in 7" single packaging.. which version have you got coming?

Carry on camping! :p
Are you setup to do MultiCh Flac on your PC?

I have the Japanese 7" SACD which I believe is the same as previous versions. Yes, center is just front channels summed at very low level. Rather pointless. I love the disc BTW. Great quad mix.

Haven't tried an upmix because it's probably too loud but sounds good in fake, damn this is heavy!:nuke

Steve Hackett - Please Don't Touch. A wonderful album. I'm having a rare Steven Wilson free night, though I might have to put on Book of Regrets and Vermillioncore from 4 1/2 later, once I've managed to get the kids in bed :smokin

You might be free of his music currently, but you certainly aren't free of his mixing! :ugham:
But I agree. It's a great album only made better by Steven Wilson's surround mix. (And it would be even better if it was actually a DVD-A like it's labeled, but I digress…) ;)
 
I have (what I call) the 2nd Multichannel SACD version coming. This would be the Jewel-Case Hybrid SACD that came after the Single-Layer Multichannel SACD but before the Japanese 7" package.

Oh Ryan I can't keep up.. :yikes :p ...there's so many SACD versions of the Blow By Blow Quad (but not one modern version of the Quad of Wired.. :rolleyes: ) I imagine the Surround on the Hybrid is also presented as 5.1 (w/needless imho) Centre & LFE but its been so long since I played any of the SACDs of BxB, the last time I played the Quad was a Surround Master decode of the SQ LP by yours truly (and rather spiffy it was too if I do say so myself! :eek: )
 
A mch FLAC copy of your SQ Full Sail LP? How does it sound in 4.0, AB? I have the SQ Vinyl somewhere but am not set up for vinyl.

Yes! Oh its a lot of FUN! :D
I'm still hopeful AF will unearth the master tapes.. but for now it'll do ;)
(btw I'm sure you could turn the flacs into a DVD-A or something.. though I avant garde a clue.. :eek:
fwiw its one of the SQ's that didn't require much of a scrub with the fairy liquid as it was minty fresh when it arrived.. lmao!)
