Gaucho was my second pick after Avalon.
I was a lucky man to find two outstanding 5.1 mixes at first.

Just checking - what was being analysed above was the Gaucho dvda, and not the sacd? I have the sacd and not the dvda
I'm surprised I hadn't voted on this yet. It was one of my first surround purchases as well (DVD-A) back in the days when my local Best Buy had a dedicated SACD/DVD-A section with dozens and dozens of titles (sigh). Scheiner's mix is absolutely brilliant. So seamless, as if this album was conceived for surround. It's not my favorite Dan LP (that would have to be Royal Scam) but even 2nd tier Steely Dan is remarkable and essential (IMO!). A 10 for me.
Can you imagine The Royal Scam in Surround!? Wowzers.. what an album!!! :yikes
Yes...Royal Scam is no.1
I must have mentioned it about 10 times now.
Do it Mr. Scheiner!
I love this disc, 10 all the way for me. I don't need to know how we got there(ultrasonic noise or any spatial anomaly that disrupts the space time continuum). Folks, put down those slide rulers and tuck the charts and graphs away and just enjoy the music. Let the music engulf you like a warm summer breeze. Despite what Pink Floyd said you actually can have your pudding without eating the meat, trust me, you can.

My fave Steely....

Sometimes I don't need an analysis....if it sounds superb....
Will your listening to this disc change now after you made the spectral analysis?
Time to vote, I have the DVD Audio and it's a true ten. Concerning the ultrasonics, no hot ears or unexplained headaches here and the feline is even close by. To think some years ago I thought I didn't like the Dan. Uh oh, apparently I did vote but because it's not a public poll I don't know what I gave it, hopefully I made a comment and gave it at least a nine@:
