    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    Thanks to everyones recommendations, I'll have to check out "Love over Gold" soon then. I'm digging BiA, so it seems like the natural progression. On the iPod subject, think it's awesome that many of the devices can play higher bit rate MP3s as well as FLAC and other formats, and when I...

    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    Very interesting. This is my first venture into the world of Dire Straits, but I always assumed this was an analog recording and never thought that it might actually be digital. Since BiA was apparently a digital recording, it's not likely that much is to be gained by doubling the sampling...

    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    Hi Carlo, The 5.1 mix is 24/96, the stereo mix is 24/48. It is in no way mentioned on the package. If the sample rate on the stereo mix bugs you (it bugs me a little, for sure), you'll probably be better off with the SACD. Justin

    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    I chose to write unknowingly based on the assumption that the average consumer doesn't know that they are buying high rez content. When I wrote trading quality for convenience I was referring specifically to the redbook layer. I agree that anyone can hear the difference between a high rez...

    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    I picked up my copy yesterday at BestBuy for $15.99. My friend who works there said it had come in about two weeks ago and gotten buried in their back room. I think the mixed info that we received from various retailers was caused by the fact that the disc does not bear a DualDisc logo on...

    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    Paul.S - I don't believe that this would be Warner's first DVD-A DD title, but to tell the truth, I can only think of the Graetful Dead's American Beauty on DD from Warner. From reviews on amazon.com of the disc, it sounds like the DVD side is identical to the original DVD-A standalone release...

    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    Since any domestic release is going to be DVD-A, I'd prefer a DVD-A+CD release. But I think PaulT is right: it's probably going to be DualDisc. I personally don't mind DualDiscs that have DVD-A content - basically, I see them as a DVD-A with an extra shiny label. If it is DualDisc and doesn't...

    Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms - DVD-A or DualDisc?

    Hello again, I've been really surprised about the lack of chatter about this release. I'd imagine it's caused by two things: A. Most of the huge fans of this album bought the $35-$40 imported SACD and this release probably just irritates them (and rightly so). and/or B. There is...
