Just wondering what are some favorite DVD-A Tittles and best tracks that show off the 5.1. I hope to grab some this weekend, and really want one that shows the stereo off.

 

Try this https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=DVD-A A couple more threads are also linked with in that thread.

 

I recently bought a few DVD-A's. I don't know what your taste in music but I will recommend:

The Doobie Brothers-The Captain and Me Classic Rock

The Corrs-Into the Blue Irish rock

Fourplay-Fourplay Lite Jazz

REM-Greatest Hits Rock

All of these that I recommended have great sound qualities. I also have purchased some DVD-A's that were not mixed well and sound poor like George Benson Breezin.

 

Linkin Park Re-animation!

 

Porcupine Tree (outstanding)
Fleetwood Mac
Blue Man Group

 

Definitely linkin park reanimation.

 

The Police - Greatest hits (DTS)

 

Beck - Sea Change
Flaming Lips - Yoshimi and the battle of the pink robots

Both mixed by for surround by Eliot Scheiner (the ELS label printed on the audio system)!

 

Steely Dan - Gaucho
Diana Krall

 

Linkin Park

 

Telarc's recording of Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops performing the 1812 Overture is astounding, especially when the cannons start firing--just be careful not to crank it up too loud as the cannons can blow out your speakers. This is a GREAT recording to show off your system. I have it on both DVD-A and SACD, so now I guess I need to get a universal player for my home stereo to compare them.

Brian Wilson's "Live at the Roxy Theater" is a very good one too.

 

YES to SEA CHANGE from BECK-- outstanding.. BJORK's "Vespertine"-- great stuff

 

Blue Man Group - The Complex. The entire DVD, but most notably the first 8 tracks or so.

 

2 words... LINKIN PARK..... i got it about a week ago and have been listening to it almost non-stop!! just SIIIIIIIICK!! I also have Bob Marley "the early years" which has some great tracks on it.... but that's more for :blaze:n' time....

and if you or your girl like pop... try Britney "in the zone" dvd-a. My g/f loves that ish!

 

Let's hope everyone has some current favorites, 'cuz DVD-A seems to be dying (based on the lack of any new releases)...

 

Here are some poll results of currently available surround discs. Of course, any that are SACD will not play in HiRez or surround in the TL. However, there are a lot of DVD-A's on this list:

There's a live Tesla DVD-A (not 'Five Man Acustical Jam') called Standing Room Only that sounds great. I've never been a big Tesla fan, but this disc sounds great. Found at Best Buy.

 

I have David Sanborn's Timeagain and a classic jazz DVD-A that I think
sound great.

 

I bought Led Zeppelin 'How the West was won' two disc set recently and I must say I was disappointed with the 5.1 mixing. Awesome songs, of course, but I couldn't really see any difference between the DVD-A and regular CD listening. The DVD-A 5.1 mastering is definitely not up to the mark.

 

I think everyone should pick up Ryan Adams - Gold

 

I bought the black album from Metallica, and it sounds great ! I also like REM, Staind and Everclear. Nickelbaack is good as well.

About Linkin Park, which one did you guys are listening ? I bought the one with the remixes. The sounds eeffect are great, but I find that the music sucks....

 

The eagles hell frezzes over or Hotel california " drink pink champagne on ice" awesome

 

Orange Crush on R.E.M.'s Greatest Hits DVD-A.

i have this one too, but the lead singer's voice is shot so it takes away from what are very good accoustics.

Sammy Hagar's live DVD-A "Hallalujah" is very good as well, if you are a fan of "Van Hagar" you will be pleased.

 

hi, i'm new here, i'm getting the 05 tl in a lil while, i was wondering, where does everyone go to get the DVD-A's?, can you make em yourself?

 

There is many other threads about doing your own DVD-A. Roughtly, I'll tell you what I'm doing.

I bought the program "Discwelder Bronze" for 100$ and I own a computer with DVD burner. You must use DVD-R or DVD-RW.

I'm not doing any DVD-R with 5.1 or with DTS. I'm doing DVD with CD quality sound, stereo channel. The good thing about that is that you can put 99 CD quality songs on one blank DVD.

Good luck !

 

I just received Frampton Comes Alive from Amazon. The disc sounds great, like you are in the middle of the crowd. There are a few tracks on the DVD-A that weren't on the original LP (I think they were on the 25th anniversary CD).


(Man, the under 25 crowd isn't going to understand the LP reference. Ask your parents).

 

hey, i'm under 25. and i have plenty of LP's, so call me old fashioned, lol.
