Hopefully they will do it like Elton John's Yellow Brick Road and package the DVD-A with a bonus disk. save me some damn money.

 

[Kris Deering]

It looks pretty clear that these two releases will have different supplements. Me being a Nine Inch Nails fanatic, I will be buying both. Gotta show support for the formats and my undying devotion to all things NIN.

I hope this is a sign of things to come for Dual Disc. If Universal showed day and date support for Dual Disc with their SA-CD catalog, things would be shaping up nicely. I hope to see more mainstream titles, especially day and date releases. I am all for classic rock, but I don't think that will garnish the widespread acceptance that the studios are looking for. With big upcoming releases like Eminem's new albulm coming out soon, there are some good oppurtunities to get this format out there and create customer awarness. Can you imagine how many people would become aware of a format like this if a title like Eminem's new CD came out ONLY in DualDisc???

It seems as if this album is getting a hybrid SACD release, AND a dualdisc DVD-Audio release:

my bad, someone already posted this...

Sweet, Dualdisc Downward Spiral DVD, can play Dobly Digital and Stereo from a standard DVD player, yeah I don't have to hook up 5.1 cables!

 

[Jean D]

Why? does it not have advanced rez?

 

[Kris Deering]

The Dual Disc release will have both high resolution stereo and surround sound mixes plus Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. So any DVD player will give you access to multi-channel options.

 

[Jean D]

You will have to for the Advanced-Rez.

 

[dan fritzen]

Correct, but I am no longer single and do not want to attempt DVD-A or SACD until a digital single connection solution is available.

I am okay with the lower resoultion. Of course that could all change once I actually hear these higher fidelity formats.

 

[Jean D]

I know what you mean, I got sucked in after hearing a demo of Pink Floyd's "Money". Funny thing is I already had a DVD-A player, I just never used it, so I bought some cables and hooked it up analog style and got some dvd-a's from the holiday season, and the rest is history. I still dont have a SACD player, but I heard a rumor that DSOTM was origianlly mixed for DVD-A and may someday come out on that format. Here's hoping.

 

[Shane D]

isn't there a pioneer elite that has firewire that works for the one cord connection?

 

[Jean D]

as far as I know, due to copy-protections, there isnt any digital connection that can accomplish the current hi-rez tracks.

There are currently players from Pioneer, Denon, Meridian, Integra, Onkyo, and one that will be available shortly from Yamaha that will pass both DVD-A and SA-CD in their high resolution forms via a digital connection. The Meridian only does DVD-A though. All of these players with the exception of the Meridian use I-Link. Sony also has an I-Link player that will pass SA-CD. Currently there are receivers from Sony, Yamaha, Pioneer, Onkyo and Integra that will accept this input. Denon will also have one shortly. Integra has a pre-pro on the way and Anthem will be offering a firewire upgrade to all of its SSPs at the end of the year.

There are also player and receiver options that will be on the market in the next month or so that will allow for full DVD-A support in the digital domain via HDMI.

 

[Jean D]

amazing, even with my knowledge of this new niche technology of hi-rez multi-channel, I feel as though Im being left behind in a technological mind-fuck. Sometimes I feel as though I should give up on technology and rub sticks together for fire.

 

[Adrian D]

Add me to the list who would want The Fragile in SACD.

 

[Kris Deering]

I can't imagine any of the Halo's not sounding phenominal in multi-channel. Nine Inch Nails is just one of those groups that just lends itself perfectly to the format. I wish there was a way to get the song "Burn" in multi-channel. Still my favorite NIN track and I think it could sound amazing in MC.

Here is the news from www.avrev.com

"On November 23, Nine Inch Nails will release The Downward Spiral Deluxe on CD/SACD and a DualDisc DVD-Audio of The Downward Spiral.

[Martin Rendall]

Anybody else crack their SACD trying to get it of that damn spindle?

Martin.

 

[Nick V]

What's the 2 channel sound quality like on the SACD version? Anyone compare it to the CD? I already own it on cd, so I won't be purchasing this SACD unless the SQ has increased significantly over the CD version.
