Tested Amy Whitehouse. Overall, I am quite happy with the sound quality. It has more good detail in the high range (clear piano note and crispy cymbals). Vocal are ok, not much different than the 16bit flac. It has good bass, especially the kick drum is discrete and solid with detail.

Overall, for RM70, it is a good buy if you haven't owned the CD.

Thank Mov_frak for bringing those HDPAs to me.

Bob Marley Legend: 30th Anniversary Edition in 5.1 Sense Surround

[attachmentid=4079415]

Something interesting happened at my local CD store today.

The lady boss contacted me and told me that the above is now available.

I texted her back pass (meaning I'll give it a pass). Two days later, she texted me back that my order has arrived!!

She took my "pass" as in pass the exam, I want!! laugh.gif

So I picked the disc up today and discovered this is mix in 5.1.

Got back, put in in and... IT IS GOOD!!!!

So much better compared to the Stereo version!!!

Sound separation, vocals and instrumentation are all clearly defined!!

This albums has most of Bob Marley greatest hits.

No Woman No Cry, Three Little Birds, One Love & I Shot the Sheriff, all here.

It would really REALLY sad if this format does not take off even with all these wonderful titles.

The best so far is Elton John's Yellow Brick Road. That is a MOST not miss.

Followed by Queen's Night At The Opera and this!!

Enjoy

I am not a elton john fan. But I want to know what do you like so much about that EJ bluray? Maybe I can consider getting it as well.

In fact, I told mov_freak once I like SACD better than bluray because most blu ray audio are 2.0. But with 5.1 it is a total different experience to listen to my favorite music, I like the separation of vocal and instrument and that what I am looking for, be it audiophile or not, it is the listening experience.

Ok, let me keep the story short. Last month, I have a chance buying 3 bluray audio (thank to Mov_freak's help): Elton John's, Tear for Fear's and Bryan Adam. Listened all and the last title auditioned was Bryan Adam's reckless. All the 3 share a common: multichannel.

The Reckless is a rather special one, the multi-channel (MC) is an original recording from 16-track machine. To me, the MC on the disc sound a lot better than the remastered stereo tracks: The separation of music instruments and vocal was like live. Guitar sound through distortions was so vivid giving you the impression are they came from the stage, singing along just for you. The vocal are richer, especially the duet with Tina Turner, where you can clearly hear the tore-voice of Tina really clear. Finally, the only downside is the drum sound which I think it is not vibrate and dynamic enough compared to modern recording, I guess I can't blame on it as this was recording almost 20 years ago. If you are BA or rock fan, seriously, give this title a try, you will never disappointed.

Overall, this is consider one of the best true to original bluray audio I owned. I wish more titles in original multi track like this to be made available soon.

Very cool.

I wonder when the bluray from sony will be available soon?

Looking forward to the MJ's Thriller. I believe sony may do a better job in bluray audio.

Awww man, I don't see my favourite artists.

Though I don't have the proper equipment to unleash the full potential, I'd like to have it just so I can re-collect my previously sold CDs in a higher-res digital format. Would benefit when I upgrade my system later in the future. I've seen only one album, but I have only downloaded it (and deleted), but yet to find one to buy.

Forget HFPA, I can't even find them in SACD format.

True, the selection of bluray audio and SACD is extremely limited. I am waiting long for my favorite albums to be available as well.

Just curious, which artist are you looking for?

Oh, RATM, they was pretty hot in 90' and I usually associated them with NIN. Anyway, I think they are not really that major to the point that the recording will re-release their album in an alternate format, judging from the profit making side.

However, RATM is s very unique band like pearl jam, NIN, and I do wish to see all music available in high definition format.

I believe the muse one is not an official release?
