The Beatles - Abbey Road 50th Anniversary (5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes)

[SHB]

Abbey Road is playing flawlessly on my Oppo BDP 83!

Just an FYI for U.S-based buyers with Prime, Amazon is offering a clippable coupon of $6.11 off the $89.80 list price....I waited until late this morning to finally order (after the reviews and listening to streaming). It's arriving in a couple of hours here in Seattle.

Any Californian QQer who gets this thing soon want to come use my Atmos system?!

Mine just arrived! I'd love to come test it out, but I'm heading to a Cal football game in ten mins. Setting up the Blu-ray rip for when I'm at the game.

I've got mine too. Invitation is still open though! I've always thought it would be great for QQers to gather, occasionally.

Any QQers in NC?.

Question for the polls, is the 5.1 as normal poll is for packaging extras and mix. The Atmos will just be for the Atmos mix?.

let's plan for it - I'll PM you.

5 min rounds of MMA to decide?!

I’m only half through the first listen. After the first two songs I adjusted both rear surrounds AND the rear ATMOS speakers up 2db each. BIG DIFFERENCE! I went back and enjoyed the first two songs much more a second time. Maybe 1.5db would be enough but now there is no doubt this is in surround. Too early to say more now...

 

[key_wiz]

Half way through. This kicks ass! Giles is learning this surround stuff for sure. Whoever said this rivals Steven Wilson was correct. Tasteful, discreet, immersive.

Need a couple of listens before I vote, but how this is not going to be a 10? I have no idea.

The vocals in “Because” is surround demo quality

Loving it. Went the same route as Jon. I ALWAYS rip first. But not today. Playing great on my Oppo 83. First time through was the 5.1. Second time I’m doing the Atmos mix, which is recognized as True HD by the Oppo. I only have a 5.1 setup - Can’t say I’ve heard a jarring difference between the 5.1 and the downmixed Atmos, other than the Atmos downmix is much louder. However, that is just playing it straight through twice. Certainly not A-B ing them.

I found the video for Something. Anybody found Here Comes the Sun or any other Easter eggs?

Gahhhhhh! I'm now home from my mid-south trip. Package will arrive tomorrow....likely by 2pm. I will so play it loud....

I can’t hear much difference either other than the volume. Which at first, makes me think the mix is more “present”, but it’s just a few dB louder, for whatever reason.

I think that’s the only one!

They wouldn’t make a video for Here Comes the Sun & not put it on there, would they??? I’ll Probably be able to tell for sure tomorrow when I rip it.

With all the much deserved hype about this release, I happened to land on this page... made me laugh, had to share.

If it’s here, it’s more hidden that the “”Something” video is!

For sure...

Listening to the blu ray brings me both bliss and serenity. Nice job Giles!
