DVD-Audiobahn

could it be because BMG and Sony are only releasing their best sounding recordings on SACD? Such as:

172.198.174.193

In Reply to: Sony & BMG ... Working Together To Kill SACD . LOL . Billboard's #2 , #3 , & #8 albums, on the Top 200 Albums chart... posted by ZS KEKL on June 28, 2005 at 18:36:08:

The recently released BMG/Sony SACDs:
Big Guns, The Very Best of Rory Gallagher (BMG/Sony) Just released
Jeff Wayne: The War of the Worlds (BMG/Sony) Just released
plus <10 more> RCA Living Stereo SACDs (BMG) July 28, 2005
and at Universal 5 more Mercury Living Presence SACDs.
So it looks like the less than perfect sounding recordings are going to DualDisc and the best sounding to SACD. But poor DVD-Audio is gasping for air with only AIX, Classic, MDG and a few other small labels supporting it.
SACD is high resolution for people who care as much about sound quality as they do about the performance.
DualDisc is for people who want lots of extra content: Web links, Videos, lyrics on screen etc.
So you see these to formats are not at war with each other as they serve different listeners.
Happy listening,
Teresa

    KEKL's discussion is based on DualDisc.
    That's the main topic of his posts - even if he does throw in a SACD or twelve.
    All you're doing is threadfarting with SACD babble, and adding to the flame wars.
    Why can't you just leave his posts alone?
    You've made it clear that your infatuated with SACD, and consider DualDisc the tool of the devil.
    That's fine - just stay out of the DualDisc discussions, otherwise you're threadfarting.
    - go read ZS KEKL post again, it is PURE HATE aimed directly at SACD, DualDisc is just a pretext for his posting. - Teresa 13:40:58 06/29/05 (13)
      And it is full of incorrect information about SACD that needed to be corrected. If you do not see that you are totally blind! I have been reading his posts for 5 years, have you?
      Please think before you post, please!

        regardless of his hating SACD.
        If he posted that in the HiRez Highway - he would be in the wrong.
        The DVD forums knocked DIVX, XBOX forums knock PS2, etc.
        It's one of the advantages of having a forum dedicated to a specific format/product. It's not only acceptable, it's expected.
        Noone cares if his info on SACD is incorrect. Are you the SACD-info Police?
        With the exception of you, everyone takes KEKL's posts for what they are. You have the ability to NOT read his posts - have you ever tried that?

        last time i looked, this was the dvd-adiobahn, and not the dual disc district. when you can effectively show that dual disc is in essence a dvd-a format, i'll admit your point. but right now, both sacd and dvd-a are basically irrelevant in the world of dual disc (and primarily because so few people actualy give a rat's ass about high-rez, let alone know what high-rez is).
        get a clue: KEKL is a moron, as are those who take his posts even slightly seriously. high-rez is not a popular format, and never will be. go on and pick sides: you will have then reduced your possible choices by at least half. well done for you! i'm sure you'll enjoy the paucity of reasonable recordings available for you to play on your (no doubt) superior equipment.

        Some DualDiscs come with DVD-A.
        Sounds like you're taking his posts seriously, as you just called him a moron.
        All I'm saying is his posts are still on-topic in this forum - even though he knocks SACD in his posts. Noone says you have to agree with his opinion on SACD.
        We all have the choice of ignoring his posts. Seems like the ones who complain about him are the ones who take his posts seriously.
        Just leaven him be and just enjoy what you want.

        i don't see how dual disc, which treats dvd-a as an afterthought, is really relevant to high-rez. it's a maketing gimmick that's trying to save sales by primarily adding video content to a cd. the developers of dualdisc get the option of high-rez for free as a result of the format, not because they have a belief in its intrinsic value...
        i agree with you about responding to kekl, though. but the fact that i refer to him as a moron doesn't meanm i take him seriously. in fact, i'm fairly sure morons in general are not taken seriously..;) my frustrations boil over, though, because it seems that the only time there's any activity on this forum is when kekl rouses up teresa and all hell breaks loose. there's nothing of value at all in reading the kekl/teresa/dave555/vinyldude battles. it's not even entertaining anymore....

        ... for the most part the DVD-Audio manufacturer's are now making their releases as DualDisc.
        I also do not think it is an afterthought for those who actually include DVD-Audio (if it was, they would release them in Dolby Digital instead). Definitely Silverline takes their DVD-Audio DualDisc releases seriously.
        What I would like is a site, equivalent to www.sa-cd.net, which lists only those DualDiscs that contain DVD-Audio, or at leasts details the contents of the discs - right now it is difficult to know whether a particular album contains it or not (though of course if the label is Sony, then it certainly does not...).
        I think this ambiguity is hurting the format.
        
        I agree we do need a DVD-Audio site like SA-CD.net listing the actual resolution in both Multi-channel and Stereo. - Teresa 19:45:10 06/30/05 (1)

        I listen in 2 channel and I don't care for folddowns, but a high resolution multi-channel folddown is much better than Dolby Digital.
        The site should only list DualDiscs if they have a DVD-Audio track.
        I would like to see something along these lines:
        *** check one ***
        ___ DVD Audio ____ DVD Audio + CD _____ DualDisc
        Advanced Resolution Surround Sound: 96kHz 24Bit - DVD Audio players
        Advanced Resolution Stereo: 192kHz 24Bit (for example) - DVD Audio players
        Surround Sound: dts 5.1 or Dolby Digital 5.1 - DVD Video players
        Stereo: Dolby Digital, or 48kHz 24 Bit (for example) - DVD Video players
        Video: "names of the music videos" - All DVD players
        Lyrics - All DVD players
        Plus pictures of the release and reviews as well. I hope someone is interested in starting such a site.
        Just my 2 cents,
        Teresa

        I believe that SA-CD.net is a great resource for that format and the lack of a similar site for DVD-Audio content is hurting its success.
        Ideally I would like to see a service that addresses both hi-def formats together because at this point I think that the percentage of cross-over listeners is pretty high.
        Stephen from sa-cd.net has indicated interest in doing so in an old email correspondence but has said that the main obstacle is time since he has pretty much his hands full keeping up with SACD.
        If I had the time I would consider doing it, but my regular job keeps me busy enough (and I spend my work time programming, so during my time off I would rather do something else...)

      This is why your dual personality should be banned forever from both DVD-Audiobaun and Hi-Rez Highway.
      Racerguy's question is very important in showing what a true troll you are as I am a bigger DVD-Audio supporter than you will ever be!
