Yeah - I just go with the flow. I listen to 3 or 4 tracks from each. Not the whole thing....at least, that's what I'm doing now.

PONCHO SANCHEZ - Out of Sight (SACD Multi-Channel)

Outstanding sounding disc!

Yes it is! Great stuff.

 

[GOS]

Yes it is! Great stuff.

I'd call it reference...wouldn't you? It's one of the more awesome sounding discs I have.

 

[JanBakker]

Do that a lot too, until I find the right one :51banana:

No doubt. And the music is delightful.

A lot of the Concord SACDs are great but that is one of the better ones...

Hehehe - I've moved on...

STYX - Cyclorama (DVD-Audio 5.1 Advanced Resolution)

I particularly like the song "Waiting For Our time"....excellent.

hehehe - yep. If I understand correctly, the only advanced resolution is stereo.....the other choices are Dolby Digital I think....maybe DTS. Sounds pretty good using the stereo ADV RES and then applying PL II

 

[JanBakker]

Yep, it also has a dts stream and it sounds ok to me although the low end could have a bit more oomph.

ANATHEMA - Distant Satellites (DVD-Audio - High Resolution 24 Bit Stereo....PLII)

Whaaa? You prefer the stereo played through PLII?? I like the surround mix on it...

I believe you have the (plain old) DVD-V version - correct? There isn't a DVD-Audio - but there is a blu-ray with DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround.

No, sorry....I don't mean to suggest I prefer it...I was just listening to it.....let me check what the heck I have....
Yeah - it says DVD-Video.

 

[GOS]

So, how is it that a DVD-Video can have a high resolution Stereo track? Says it does.....

 

[LizardKing]

A DVD-V can have stereo LPCM up to 24/96.
