What's the latest Multichannel SACD or DVD-A added to your pile? - Volume 2

[DuncanS]

20-bit, you say? I seem to recall a version of Astral Weeks (or Tupelo Honey?) that I bought was 20-bit.
I'll have to see if the Oppo says its HDCD.
So, do they sound any better?

The Joni Mitchell HDCDs do sound better than the old CD I had, so I think they were a better transfer from analogue to HDCD. There were a lot of 20bit remastered CDs released a few years back but they're just standard 16bit CDs. I would love the old Joni Mitchell CD4 Quads released on BDA, DVDA, or SACD.

According to the Burning Shed listing from your link this is a DVD-V (DTS & DD); not a DVD-A.

 

[Robert van Diggele]

Yes, it is a dvdv, with DTS 96/24 and DD as surround options and PCM 96/24 for stereo.

Sorry, yes DVD V. Wrong thread.

Mahavishnu Orchestra "Birds Of Fire" SACD, really like this one, clearer than the old SQ vinyl, not bad for a 43 year old recording!

The drums on this sound better than most modern recordings. Engineers do not seem to know how to record drums these days.

Nice catch, Jan! :brew
So... from all those dancing bananas, I'm guessing it rocks.
Let us know what you think when you've had chance to give it a good listening.

Actually the bananas were meant to indicate how happy I was to finally get it after a 2 month wait but it certainly rocks!!
The surround mix is mostly ambient but the sound quality is great. Here's a short review. I bought the SACD FWIW which seems to be rare, they sent me the cd/dvd version twice although I ordered the SACD so make sure when you buy this that you don't end up with the cd/dvd version.

Thanks, Jan!
Third time lucky! Your persistence paid off. Glad to hear this SACD was worth the extra effort.
I'm still on the hunt for the Nightwish DVD-A. Hopefully I'll come across one of these at a decent price. :lookaround

Do you mean Once or Dark Passion Play? Anyways, I'll keep my eyes open and pm you if I find one for a decent price .

Well, I figured out how best to spend that $25 Best Buy Reward Certificate I have.

I have purchased "Antiquasauria" (the Ian Cooke DVDA) along with a non-music item, which would be a preorder of the new restored edition of "Spartacus" on Blu-Ray.
Both should be arriving around the beginning of October, and I'm looking forward to both with great anticipation!

Turn the rears up by 2db. There's plenty of discrete stuff, but pretty quite. The After Forever SACD is decent too, but again has rears pretty quiet.

If anybody has knowledge of the classical ones, please sound-forth!
The EJ one is a double for me. Found it for $6, so, what the heck...
