After looking at the liner notes for the DVD-A I noticed something very curious.

I quote from the liner notes:

"The original 1980 24-track analogue master recordings were transferred to a Pro Tools HD digital audio workstation at 192kHz 24bit."

But when they give us the stereo PCM track (which is most likely 96/24 LPCM) it is 96/24 and not PPCM 192/24.

Granted for compatibility issues they are providing a 96/24 LPCM track, which doesn't require a DVD-Audio player - merely a DVD player. Considering that they had 192/24 available you would think they could have provided a 192/24 DVD-Audio stereo track?

Oh well.
