  You may want to do a search on Sony/BMG DualDisc releases - there has been quite a bit of discussion recently. I believe they are 48/16 stereo & those that include 5.1 surround are Dolby only, no MLP.

    48/16? Not even 48/24? Sheesh!

      I think 5.1 Entertainment have the right idea for the DVD-side:-

      ~ full-rez 96kHz & 24bit multichannel MLP surround-sound;
      ~ Dolby-Digital (full bit-rate) discrete audio 5.1 for DVD-V players;
      ~ Dolby-Digital 2-ch discrete stereo;
      ~ DVD-ROM launcher content;
      ~ pre-ripped files for portable IPod;
      ~ Bonus videos;
      ~ DVD-Audio surround-sound speaker-setup & tutorial;
      ~ Slideshow;
      ~ Lyrics;
      ~ credits etc. etc.

      I think 5.1 Entertainment's Tipper "Surrounded" DualDisc is truly excellent. This is great reference-quality electronica hirez surround-sound, by a great artist.

      I have the Nine Inch Nails & Diana Krall (as well as Back in Black) DD releases and they are both 48/24 & sound great IMHO. The Universal releases also include videos, discreet stereo mixes & Dolby for non-DVDA players - as well as some other crap I haven't really looked at.

      Priced the same as a CD or less, this format actually appeals to me, provided playing the CD side doesn't ruin my equipment ;) That said, I don't have the high end gear most others here have so, truth be told, the 48/24 ratio is not as great a degradation in overall sound quality from higher resolution material on my modest set-up.

      I can see where others feel even the 48/24 stuff is an apocalyptic concession to the masses, but all things considered I'm OK with it. Now my position may change as I upgrade along the way to better equipment...

    I have purchased both Los Lonely Boys and Miles Davis Kind of Blue on DualDisc. The surround mix is definitely Dolby Digital and not HiRes.
