I noted this line in the review:

If the Atmos version is your style, then look for this boxed set (unavailable on Amazon currently) to obtain the lossless TrueHD Atmos version. It sounds much better than what's available via streaming services.

Trying not to be too envious of his setup that he links to in the article.

Just finished listening to Atmos Box set version. Well worth the money to me!

You have to be patient living in the land down under . . . I ordered the 50th box set from a dedicated dealer in another state of Oz. I want to support the specialist retailers. However, there is a cost for my well-meaning gestures. My retailer still hasn't received their shipment. I could drive 10 mins to a local big-box store where they have plenty in stock. Could have been listening to it over the past few days. Whaaaaa . . .

My box showed up today, was supposed to be Tuesday. Unfortunately I’m in the middle of recalibrating my room which will take a few days

That was a great read, thanks. In the comments below this article, ted_b provides an insight into the streaming vs physical experience. If you're undecided on purchasing and were a little underwhelmed by the Apple stream . . . take a look at this.

As a long time member of QQ, I don't debate, just tell my experience.
I purchased the 50th Pink Floyd box set, it arrived today.
Biggest, heaviest box set ever, wow man.
I can't even open it yet as I am digging, very much the Ten Years After- Atmos- Blu Ray, wow, just excellent.
Plenty of time for Pink Floyd later.View attachment 89969

I'll be right over. What kind of beer do you like?

 

[Mcallister]

By the way, I can’t believe how big this box set is, it won’t fit on my shelf

The horror!

My package has been stuck in Fife for a few days.

Fife is apparently a Scottish word for “postal black hole” and every time I see one of my packages in Fife (there have been many), my spirit drops dramatically.

Amazon should just start putting a note after items with a possible delivery of “Tomorrow” with “... unless it has to go through Fife. In which case you’ll get it when you get it... but not tomorrow.”

I've got a doomed nearby hub, too. Hopefully it arrives soon.

T.O.M.B.S. are alive and well apparently-

and just when I was relenting and decided to pull the trigger (only ‘cause my Amazon points would cover the cost; hey I’d already gotten an Immersion blood bath on me wallet!) the bloody thing is no longer available!
can’t win for losing, which bum is Pink now?

Excuse me asking, but how do you get Amazon pts?? I’m been purchasing 1000’s of $ for years through Amazon.au without any knowledge of loyalty pts!!

Here in the US you may get 5% cash back on select purchases when using their Visa credit card (100 points equals $1 & points never expires.) IDK, may also depend on one’s credit history; I’d recommend calling them for info for your particular country and personal availability.

We are going to need a bigger boat.

I got tired of streaming, how is the mix?

 

[esimms86]

you know things have come to a pretty pass when ol' Freddie "money bags" McB here can't justify buying one of those big a$$ box $et$ to get the precious Surround..

Besides, the DSOTM box would seriously use up your savings for “Who’s Next.”

 

[esimms86]

I wonder what a pristine unopened copy is going to be selling for a year or two from now .

Oh jeez...I forgot about that title....dammit.

Ripping DSOTM now with MKV. A little complicated.
DVD-OK forget it.
Blu Ray I- 5.1 Surround, 24/192 Uncompressed Stereo and dts-HD MA stereo, seems simple enough.
Blu Ray II-Atmos, 24/192 Uncompressed Stereo and dts-HD MA stereo. Not sure why they put the same stereos on both Blu Rays, I guess for ease of listening.
Below is a picture of my rip schedule. I figure the bottom 10 chapter TRU HD is the actual album Atmos?
The middle 12 chapter 3 X TRU HD has me confused as there are three TRU-HD's. Well I ripped all as you can see by my checks, I'll let you know what I discover. It is a gapless album so in the case of myself, I will definitely keep the root folder for JRiver, but I will use MMH now and see what I come up with.
The onscreen opening menu has very cool music and I want to capture that also.
