Just received the box AND the standalone DVD.
Listening to the DVD right now.
Sure a 10! The sound and mix is fantastic.
Enough going on in the rears, discrete and very full and warm.
One of the best 5.1 mixes I know.

Here the pics of the DVD which comes in a papersleeve:

Well my set and "A Passion Play" are now on their way to me! (Expected delivery date is tomorrow afternoon!)
Also included in the shipping package is a Blu-Ray of the 1961 film "The Hustler" (with Paul Newman; highly recommended) :)

Fast Eddie Felson rocks and Jackie Gleason in a serious role was very good. I also enjoyed the Color Of Money follow up film.
 
Humm, hdtracks is starting this week to offer pink floyd downloads (I guess only for TDB). Will it be the just the beginning and there are more to come?
 
Hello Ron,

They tweeted it 2 hours ago:

Upcoming releases this week on HDtracks...

@pinkfloyd
@everytimeidie
@TreySongz
@deeppurple_off
@Anthrax
@SeetherOfficial

And more
 
We should have the official download in hdtracks during the week, it usually takes a couple of weeks since they post the news on tweeter until the real downloads are on their website.
 
I don't see those details at that link, where does it come from?

Nevermind, I didn't see the scans here before posting.

Now the standalone DVD is no longer on pre-order the content is listed officially on the site:

Marooned Video
The Division Bell Stereo PCM
The Division Bell Dolby Digital 5.1
The Division Bell DTS 5.1

Exactly what I was hoping for, so ordering now!

The Dynamic Range for Division Bell stereo 96/24 are not as high as I'd want. I hope the BDA and DVD versions are better but probably from the same master. This was never a high DR album anyway as you can see here:

Edit: the DR detail page for the 2014 96/24 release says "from Guthrie 2011 masters".
 
The difference between the original 1994 CD version and the new 24/96 version is almost negligible - a difference of 1 point on the DR scale can easily be the result of EQ choices.

I guess its not DTS 96/24 on the DVD? Did you check that?
