New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

RE: Wha? So, you can hear the difference

I have a couple of the Bjork "surrounded" dual disks none of the true DVD-A.

The Bjork Surrounded claim 96/24 dolby and dts 5.1 surround. But thats an out and out lie. There are no Hi rez tracks on the disk they are all 48kHz 16bit.

That being said. I ripped some of the waves from the masters and from what I can see there is absolutely no Hard limiting and Maximizing on any of the tracks so Hooray for that even though there is some false advertising on the back of the case.

I don't know if the Bjork tracks were ever abused on Redbook I should investigate, but the fact that the tracks are treated with respect and not crushed by pressure from some asshole publisher.

In digital I don't object to the sacrifice of a couple of unruly transients that limit the tracks levels significantly but there's no need for people like Steely Dan to be limiting and maximizing on their DVD-A releases why why why why why!?
