I think they just mean the standard surround structure being 5.1...

Yeah, you don't need that new fangled Atmos stuff

Unnecessarily unclear messaging none-the-less.
Seems to dredge up the ghosts of format wars past.

I haven't been tracking mine as I don't even have an audio system assembled at the moment...but it was in my mailbox today..

The packaging is simple but effective...no damage at all

I just received the Doobie Brothers - Quadio box set. If you like very discrete surround mixes you are going to love these surround blu ray mixes. I avoid many ”immersion mixes” that closely follow the stereo mixes as I don’t see the point as I already have stereo mixes. I hope you all receive your box sets soon.

There are many cheap blu ray players out there. If you have the 5.1 setup, you already did the hard part. You owe it to yourself to pick one up and enjoy these sets.

I would need one with analog outputs and the oppo is not in the budget right now.

Mine just arrived as well!

 

[Eggplant]

two of the Eagles quads were rumored to exist, does anyone know if they're actually known to exist unreleased?

I think this rumor was based on advertising announcing their “upcoming” release. In nearly half a century since I recall no evidence surfacing of the mixes existing or even being performed. Keep in mind there were several major releases — including Ringo’s Ringo and Ohio Players’ Skin Tight that were actually listed as available in the Schwann catalog but never turned up.

My belief is the mixes were never done.

USPS just arrived with My Doobies box!

Mailman came and went, maybe tomorrow for me in Wisconsin.

Just got mine and spot-listened to some of my favorite tracks across the four albums. Biggest highlight so far is how much more detailed "Black Water" sounds. It's amazing hearing the intro fade-in with no tape hiss or surface noise! The only thing that jumped out at me as a bit odd is that "China Grove" is loaded with treble, at least compared to the 5.1 version on the DVD-A. Right from the intro guitar riff, it sounds weirdly different to me. I really had to back off the volume on that track. Back to listening...

I've mailed both Rhino and UPS about this item not moving.No answer from Rhino,but their site says shipped.UPS came back to me but they have not received the item.I'm now trying to get a refund through PayPal.

The Doobies have entered the building...
Packaging is actually very good. Initially, when I saw thin white plastic envelope, I wasn't impressed. But upon opening it, I saw it wrapped in cardboard.
Hope everyone else will also receive theirs soon if they have not already.
Really looking forward to listening to this one...

Sorry to hear that Rickk.. I'm also in WI ..New Berlin.
Just got mine today.☺
A bit of a surprise since I didn't follow tracking. ..& that the mailman left it in the right mailbox

 

[humprof]

Mine said "Still processing" up until this morning, where now it says it's about 30 miles away.

I think they erred in emailing out those shipping notices a week early. That was probably a computer thing. But really, if mine is 30 miles away basically one working day after release day, then I would bet most of you end up with the thing this week, which is really pretty good IMHO.

As always, things can still get fucked up from there to here!

The tracking info I get from the link in my original shipping notice still reads "Package departed UPS Mail Innovations facility enroute to USPS for induction"--on September 5th.

BUT: this morning I noticed that listed in the right-hand column of that page is an "Alternate Tracking Number." I plugged in that number and voila!--the package shows up as being received at the P.O. in the next town south of here yesterday afternoon. Hoping for a new Quadio baby on my doorstep today or tomorrow...

 

[sjcorne]

The sleeves replicating the CD-4 jackets are really detailed, but they didn't capture every nuance. For instance, The Captain and Me's original jacket had a bit of extra text stating "remixed for quadraphonic sound at Warner Brothers Recording Studios in Hollywood" that's not on the miniaturized version in the set. Not a complaint by any means, just an interesting observation.

 

[JonUrban]

Nice family portrait there, all you need are the rich relatives, the Q4's

 

[Floyfn]

Dunno about anyone else up here in the Great White North, I got my "shipped" email with tracking link, I think 4 days before release .
Mine was finally received by UPS at 10:54 A.M. , Fontana, CA, U.S.
Now comes the real waiting.
