go4heat

the only rap cd ive found that DVD-A is outkast- stanonia. i think i found it on sam goody.com or FYE.com. its actually a really good cd, and im curious to hear the dvd-a. ive looked everywhere for other rap albums and couldnt find any..i do know that unfortunately chicken n beer is on superdisk or whatever that other format is called. i guess ill just go with outkast and bob marley on dvd-a .

moregrip

so the TL plays the DTS 5.1 discs?

J0KER

Out of all of my DVD-A's, my favorite by far is Linkin Park - Reanimation
picked it up at - http://www.dvdplanet.com/browse_subc...categoryid=305

boltjames

Beatles - The White Album is staggeringly-good in DVD-A. Paul's bass soars across the rear of the car on "Martha My Dear"...has to be heard to be believed. You'll have new-found respect for "Savoy Truffle". "Revolution 9" sounds worse.

zippys2k

Here's a sight that compares DVD prices, there is a huge listing.
http://www.dvdpricesearch.com/cgi-bin/dvdhtml2

marquis

yes

marquis

So far, this is what I have:

Toy Matinee - Toy Matinee (DTS)
Linkin Park - Reanimation (DVD-A)
Jonatha Brooke - Steady Pull (DVD-A)

tonyufTL

You HAVE to pick up Linkin Park Reanimation DVD-A.
Don't even think twice about it, just play that bad boy.

I brought it to the dealer to test the sound system and now the sales guy using the disc to sell the car.

6speed

:wow:
WHITE ALBUM... where did you get that one?

Dkrudop

I've got just two right now:

Doobie Bros - "The Captain and Me"
Chicago - "5"

Gonna grab Eagles "Hotel California" sometime this week.

Have to admit though......my plain old cd copies of James Taylor's "Greatest Hits 2" and Walton's "Belshazzar's Feast" sound VERY good too.

D4SSWME

I have not gotten my car yet and was wondering if you guys can really hear the difference between the DVD-A and a regular CD in the TL stereo.

Osteoman

Absolutely!! The difference is astounding in my opinion. I have a cd and the same DVD-A disc. The difference is very distinct. I'm hearing sounds out of the music I never knew were there.

marquis

The DVD Audio portion of this system is amazing. Of course, it all depends on what discs you listen to in the first place.

frozenpenguin

I'm calling BS on this one unless you can provide a link. I've never seen or heard of ANY Beatles DVD-A's....

Modeler

I've stopped after I bought Queen "Night at the Opera" and Fleetwood Mac "Rumors". The DVD-As sound good, but not that much better than the regular CDs to justifiy paying the tremendous price difference.

Also, I find what one of the critics said to be absolutelly true: you can't tell the difference between DVD-A and regular CD while driving, because the noise will drown out the differences.

zippys2k

I think that this will be a personal decision. I am quite attached to my home theater and have been a proponent of 5 channel audio for the past few years. I find the DVD-A and DTS discs to be quite a treat, and especially in a car.

skotchrox

Here's my list of DVD-A and DTS discs so far:
Eagles - Hotel Calif (superb)
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over (also superb)
Diana Krall - Love Scenes (would buy anything available by her)
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors (very good)
Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle (awsome)
Doobie Bros - Captain and Me (pretty good)
Sinatra at the Sands (very good)
Buena Vista Social Club (very good)
Sammy (Hagar) and Wabos - (save your money)

Looking for:
More Diana Krall
Jackson Browne - Running on Empty
Eric Clapton & BB King - Ridin with the King
?? Stevens(?) - Flamenco a Go-go
DVD-As not any better than CDs at driving speeds?? BS!! You're obviously not taking advantage of the volume dial!!
Support this format! Listen to them on your home theater system too - some sound even better in the home acoustics.

skotchrox

While you're waiting for your TL, get a couple of DVD-A and/or DTS discs. If you have a home theater system and 5.1 speaker set-up, listen to them at while you're waiting. The difference between 2-channel sound/CD resolution and 5.1 sound and DVD-A resolution is like night and day. You will defiinitely hear the difference...your wife will probably not (ha-ha).

Your senses are in for a treat when you get your TL and insert a DVD-A. Heck, even the demo disc is great.

Modeler

I was under impression that you can't hear the intended 5.1 sound by just playing DVD-A disks in a DVD player. I thought only a special DVD-A player could play those.

zippys2k

You are correct wrt to DVD-A, you must have a player that is DVD-audio capable. As for DTS, nearly all DVD players and home theater decocers will allow these to work, again they must be DTS capable, but that is not unusual.

skotchrox

I have a $89 Toshiba DVD player from Costco that plays my DVD-As just fine. I believe most newer DVD players are capable of playing DVD-Audio. Hopefully, you are also equipped with a decent 5.1 receiver and speaker system...otherwise, you won't get the full benefit of DVD-A at home.

baby_igor

Thanks for the lead to the DVD Price search web site. I see you can get "Sinatra at the Sands" on DVD-A. Has anyone heard that? If its awesome, I'll the freakin car just to enjoy that disk.

Nodoze2004

No TL (on order) but here is what I have waiting in the wings:

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours (Excellent)
Sting - Brand New Day (Very good)
Bjork - Vespertine (Good if you like Bjork)
Beck - Sea Change (Excellent)
Eagles - Hotel California (good)

1. Frank Sintra - Sinatra at the Sands - disappointing
2. Outkast - Stankonia - 7.5 out of 10
3. Usher - 8 out of 10

I just recently ordered the Blue Man Group. I am really looking forward to the DVD. If it is anything like track 17 "time to start" on the acura demo dvd, I will be thrilled.

I just hope this technology takes off soon. The currently selection of DVDs out on the market is poor.
