Blu-Spec CDs

Dweller,

I bought it when it first came out directly from the maker, I think it's E2? They sent it to me in less than five days. The openess of the uncompressed tracks (Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD MA) is amazing, far better than even the SACD version, I like to use it as a demo disc as it comes with all formats so it's very easy to show the differences between them.

Dweller,

The disc was in the other room, I went from memory, which was wrong!

Audioholik,

I ran the Blu-ray via HDMI to my pre/pro and my Teac Esoteric DV-50s playing the SACD version via 5.1 analog IC's for the comparison.

I hadn't yet gone to the amazon link, man many of those (albums) are poorly recorded. I love the Clash London Calling, but I am not paying $35 for it on Blu-ray, Friday Night in SF is a great live show, but again, not the ultimate in recording quality.

I hate to think it but if this is what we are going to see this will fail just as SACD and DVD-A did......... Guess I'll have another dead format pile of discs around for those naive in audio to ask "What are these??" about.....

Audioholik, I see what you are saying now.

I still don't see anything worth buying in another high res format! This is the reason the other prior HR formats failed. SOFTWARE. They need to release ALL new media and everything back catalog that sells at all in any new format to make it take off and the idiots of the RIAA are just too idiotic to do this. Scarily they would make HUGHE sums of $$ selling media that is already paid for but they still refuse.....
