In Reply to: what good is a DVD-A withOUT 2 channel hi-rez?.... posted by wish it was REAL hi-rez on November 18, 2006 at 06:17:40:
It *is* well done. You get the 5.1 surround mix at 96KHz 24 bit, lossless; this track takes up more than half the dual-layer disc's capacity. No compromise has been made aside from the exclusion of a stereo version from the DVD-A portion of the disc.Incidentally, this particular work's primary format is 5.1 surround. The whole thing was conceived for surround sound.
Follow Ups:
...the rear channels? Crowd noise? Echo? Or, is the orientation of the recording done in a way that the listener gets the illusion that they are sitting in the middle of the band? I really don't get "surround sound" as a concept. I used to have a pretty decent HT system (Klipsch, Sunfire) and even bought a few DTS audio discs. After I got over the "wow" factor of hearing instruments coming from all directions, I realized it sounded very unnatural. Not to mention the actual instruments didn't sound very good. Call me an audio-saurus, but I like music in front of me. Just like it is when I go to a live performance.
A mess comes out of the rear channels.:)
This is surround ping-pong at it's best/worst.
Frankly I thought the whole album was a c***.
Imagine a really bad Beatles tribute band mated with Stars On 45.
