You are right about first and even 2nd generation Blu-Ray players having issues but I've accepted the early adopter price. And all the players do support "uncompressed" PCM (forget TrueHD or DTS HD MA for music). E.g. Eagle Rock has released a number of titles on Blu-Ray. E.g. I have the Pat Metheny piece which includes a passible (but certainly better than DD) 5.1 16/48 PCM track with a very decent HD video track. There's nothing to stop other labels from releasing full motion HD video with 5.1 24/96 other than the fairly steep price to play the "Blu-ray" game.

All things being equal, I'd enjoy rock/pop music (or any other genre) a lot more when I get the visual feedback. I get a big kick out of the Eagle's "Hotel California" 24/96 and 24/192 soundtracks but I'd enjoy it a heck of a lot more if it included the video feed (which it can with Blu-Ray).

Besides, #10 ! :0)

Slap your 24/96 or 24/192 stuff on Blu-Ray with full motion HD video. - oscar 16:06:07 04/24/07 (6)

here's how - Joe Murphy Jr 22:08:39 04/24/07 (5)

This does look pretty easy if you already have the audio recording gear. - oscar 09:42:35 04/25/07 (4)

Another slight difficulty: how many owners of Blu-ray players are currently interested in audiophile labels ? - oscar 09:47:32 04/25/07 (3)

need to check current sales numbers of concert discs - Joe Murphy Jr 21:12:59 04/25/07 (2)

II suspect the current (and near-term) Blu-ray releases have less than stellar soundtracks from a bitrate perspective. - oscar 14:04:32 04/26/07 (1)

those rumors - Joe Murphy Jr 18:40:33 04/26/07 (0)
