    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    It would be foolish in my opinion for Sony to include SACD with all Blu-ray players when such a small percentage of the market needs SACD. Sony doesn't own all of the licensing revenue for SACD, it is shared with Philips and others and any incremental cost would be material to the profit margin...

    I think the UBP-X700 is probably a nice player but I don't have any first hand knowledge. I don't know how much extra it would have cost to add DVD-A and Bluetooth but I assume Sony wanted a less expensive player to compete with LG, Samsung and others. What I do know is that DVD-A is a tiny...

    Sony has had two models with UHD and DVD-A support, the UBP-X800 and UBP-X1000ES, I have both. I did see an announcement that Sony will release the UBP-X800M2, not sure that will actually happen but it may, biggest difference is it adds Dolby Vision support if it does happen...

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    I have had the DVD-As for maybe a decade, not sure why I bought the SACDs but I will worry about that later. The sound quality is good, Universal stopped Krall surround releases some time ago unfortunately. A couple of her DVD-V concert discs are great also, Diana Krall - Live in Paris, and...

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    I have the Diana Krall Rio Blu-ray and two live Diana Krall DVD-V's, the Paris and Montreal performances. The two DVD-V's have a better song selection in my opinion and I prefer her performances on the DVD-V's, which of course has nothing to do with the quality of the Blu-ray which is...

    I have many on your list but have never heard the Yes "Symphonic Live" DVD-V. I may have to check that one out.

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    I have made this point elsewhere. I am not going to purchase the King Crimson DVD-A's. In the big picture, I want Blu-ray audio to take over since there is no way a fractured market for high resolution audio can succeed for any format. One format, 100% support within the industry is the best...

    I just picked up Barenaked Ladies "Everything to Everyone" CD/DVD-A set. Warner has dumped this one to liquidators, it is really inexpensive. I think it is a very good pop album, nice mix, typical all-around nice effort by Barenaked Ladies and Warner. Chris

    I just ordered Richard Thompson "The Old Kit Bag" DualDisc DVD-A. I had passed on it for a long time but I expect it will disappear soon so I grabbed it now. Chirs

    Big Star "1 Record/Radio City" SACD. Although there is a multichannel sticker on the case, it is stereo only. http://www.amazon.com/1-Record-Radio-City/dp/B0001Z4OVK

    I just picked up George Harrison "Live in Japan" SACD. It isn't very good, I wish I had spent the money on a concert on Blu-ray instead. Chris

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    I believe 100% of all Concord Music Group SACD's are hybrids but I only know for certain with the 100+ I have seen. There are still hybrid SACD's released so the format isn't dead yet and SACD wasn't manufactured in the crazy quantities relative to demand like HD DVD was so we won't see HD DVD...

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    I couldn't find whether or not "Amadeus" is a hybrid SACD. I have never seen an SACD from Concord Music Group that isn't a hybrid, but I haven't seen this one yet. It is a 2-disc set and if you add it to your cart, it is $5.98, use CMG for 20% off that price atlhough there may be a minimum...

    I understand and I think most think of lossless when thinking of high resolution but 96kHz/24-bit lossy DTS would have to be considered high resolution, just as 96kHz/24-bit lossless MLP is high resolution. I always indicate high resolution lossless when that is what I mean. I just picked up a...

    I would call 96kHz/24-bit DTS high resolution, just not lossless. Chris

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    Paul, I have played through the entire 1970-1975 set listening to the 96kHz/24-bit DTS DVD-V's. I recommend not bothering with only selected albums unless you just know you don't like a couple of these. I had never owned any Genesis proper albums previously, only a compilation, so these are...

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    Yes, the Genesis DVD-V's, both PAL and NTSC are 96kHz/24-Bit DTS and it is of course lossy. Also included is standard Dolby Digital but the DTS sound is much better this time. I believe the Genesis SACD/NTSC DVD box sets and any individual albums were all manufactured for the Asian NTSC...

    It was impossible to find Depeche Mode "Black Celebration" SACD at any price I was willing to pay so I purchased the 96kHz/24-bit DVD-V. The same choice was made for the same reason on the Genesis 1970-1975 SACD/DVD-V (NTSC) box set but then I decided to buy the SACD/DVD-V (PAL) box set, now I...

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    It is true that Blu-ray would be a more than adequate replacement for both SACD and DVD-A and it is true that Blu-ray is doing far better in the marketplace than both of those formats did combined. I believe in a couple of years after the player base has grown substantially that we will see a...

    I have had this one for a long time and like it a lot, simple pop/rock. I think it is a popular DVD-A title and one I saw available for sale often. Chris

    What Hirez Discs Have You Purchased Recently?

    There are maybe 600,000 households in the world with a working HD DVD player and many of those HD DVD titles that sell for less than $5 were pressed in the hundreds of thousands. I have no idea why, they only sold in the few thousand range as a general rule up to the time the plug was pulled...
