Rolling Stones Goats Head Soup Deluxe Edition (with 5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes!)

[rtbluray]

"Heartbreaker" is awesome too, with the horns and the "doo doo doo doo doos" behind you!

 

[musicmemorabiliashoppellc]

No, Mike. I know the SHF crowd might be but hey, it's a Stones Concert and everything, including the snares and vocals are all copacetic, at least on my system.

Until I get my new system set up, I'm listening through B&W 802 Nautilus Speakers utilizing a Parasound P7 all analogue pre amp and a Parasound 5.1 AMP

Wow.....Must be nice !!

 

[rtbluray]

Wasn't too sure about the mix on "Angie", but then when the strings came in, it really started to sound so amazing!

 

[Perp]

And I don't know of a way to tell my system to downmix Atmos sources to 5.1.

Have you tried turning off your Atmos speaker channels?

 

[4-earredwonder]

Def looking forward to that concert. Glad it sounds good to a rational human.

WHO are you calling RATIONAL ..... and HUMAN

I'm an Android ..... and I COME IN PEACE! And I just stubbed my BIG toe on the freakin' massive GHS boxset. Ouch!

One thing I noticed that my edition is missing the poster set. Did this happen to anyone else?

This is what "fully compatible" means? I'm not trying to start shit. But I am feeling out what issues might be at hand in whether listeners like these mixes or not.
If the set was advertised as having DTS HD MA 5.1 and all I could access were DD 5.1, I'd honestly be a bit pissed. Especially at this price point.
Not only that, but as an Atmos customer, I also appreciate the option of a dedicated 5.1 mix. E.g. I like the 5.1 mix of Abbey Road a bit better than the Atmos. And I don't know of a way to tell my system to downmix Atmos sources to 5.1.

It is fully compatible, but like you, I wish it had a dedicated, lossless, 5.1 mix directly from the Atmos mixing software.

Fully compatible is in the Blu-ray/Atmos/TrueHD spec to work on old devices. This particular disc is compatible in two ways. 1.) HDMI/analog outs set to 5.1 speakers will downmix 7.1 bed to 5.1 lossless. 2.)SPDIF out to DD receiver will use the built in DD 5.1 track sometimes called the core track.

MM, I not ONLY paid attention in School ..... but also saved for that rainy day!

They're rolled up in a little box between the discs and book. Check again. Haven't opened mine, yet!

edit: and yes, they're there!

No. And that would simply discard some information (I think, unless I also went in to the AVR and told it there were no heights - what a PITA). Not what I was getting at.

Never mind...I found them rolled up in the spine of the box.

That is where the speaker settings are. In the AVR. Test the Abbey Road like someone else mentioned.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Just finished listening to the entirety of the BRUSSELS CONCERT. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

No. I do not want to. That's a PITA and I prefer to enjoy music with the scant amount of time I get toward it...

Are Parasound better then Macintosh Tubes

[J. PUPSTER]

I'll be playing the Atmos surround mix from my oppo 205 / analog out to my 5.1 Marantz AVR. and see how that sounds, and take a look at the spec. window while playing.

 

[4-earredwonder]

Have no idea but went the TUBE ROUTE for a couple of years ..... not only do they heat up the room nicely, sound wonderful when they work well, but a real PITA when they start to hum and crap out and need replacement. Way too finicky for my taste.

I have my eye on this as my next upgrade to feed my B&W 802D and 804Ds

NAD 180W 7 ch class D amp (0.005 THD at 180W):
