So my update on this is as follows: I prefer the 1976 mix, but have no real complaints about the 5.1 mix. The 5.1 mix is best described as "subdued". It has an ethereal feel that some may prefer, with the drums a little more buried in the mix than the original mix. The use of the surrounds is...

The Alan Parsons Project: Tales of Mystery and Imagination Edgar Allan Poe HFPA Blu-ray arrived from Amazon yesterday. It contains both the original 1976 mix in stereo (LPCM 2.0 96kHz/24 bit) as well as a new 2016 5.1 mix in LPCM and DTS-HD MA, also 96/24. I started the 1976 mix last night and...

Picked up the Hypnotic Eye BD-A a few weeks back. Going to give it a spin this week.

Picked up the 30th Anniversary CD+BD of Legend and just got around to listening to it. These are really well recorded and engineered records, which makes all the difference when listening in hi-res. The separation on the 5.1 mix is tremendous, with nice, tight bass.

Picked up the 30th Anniversary CD/BD combo of Bob Marley & the Wailers Legend. The CD sounds fantastic, and at some point I'll get around to listening to the BD, which has both stereo and 5.1 mixes.

Just picked up the HFPA of Tears for Fears' The Hurting. Will report back after a listen.

Just ordered the Hybrid SACD of Big Star's #1 Record/Radio City. Anyone care to comment on this title? It's my first SACD purchase.

Finally broke down and bought Quadrophenia. Will be giving the 5.1 a listen next week. Found it odd that there was no download code included, since my other 3 HFPA titles had them. I prefer hi-res, but the downloads are nice for in-car listening. Anyone else who has this, did yours come with the...

Currently listening to on Spotify and enjoying so far; I think I may take the plunge. Thanks for the suggestion, Mikael. On another note, got the HFPA release of Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life, which is strictly 2.0 24/96, but sounds wonderful. Nothing holds a candle to Sea Change...

Mikael, would you recommend a blind buy? I've gone through 43 years on this planet without having heard Quadrophenia, but I do like The Who generally speaking.

Just listened to it tonight. Bohemian Rhapsody is so ingrained in the public conscious that I wanted to sample some of my favourite deep album cuts first. I was not disappointed in the least. My next HFPA purchase will be sooner rather than later. Skipping Nevermind and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...

Also just received the HFPA release of Queen's A Night at the Opera, which is a 24 bit/96 KHz release, also in both 2.0 and 5.1 mixes. Have only sampled Death on Two Legs and The Prophet's Song in 5.1 so far, but still quite stunning. The 2.0 mix is Bob Ludwig's 2011 remaster, while the 5.1...

This seems like the right thread to discuss this. I just picked up the Blu-ray High Fidelity Pure Audio disc of Beck's Sea Change. It's my first hi-res purchase since my DualDisc of Carly Simon's Moonlight Serenade, and includes both the Stereo and 5.1 mixes of the album in dts-HDMA and PCM...
