RE: How many DVD-A have bad Mastering?

I just looked at the Tracks.

The surround tracks on Soft Bulletin are not brickwall filtered but the "Hi res Stereo Tracks are Brickwall filtered which means they are probably just up converts from the Red Book Masters Something that it seems almost all of the DVD-A / SACD producers have been doing. Thats really a rip off since Stereo is still and will probably always be the dominant format. It like the Engineers are treating stereo like a second class citizen unworthy of a True Hi Res Remaster.

The Surround mix or lack of mix doesn't translate very well compared to the stereo. Passages that are quiet/dynamic on the Stereo mix are totally maximized on the Surround mix.
