Does this mean then we'll have players with dual lasers so both sides can be played without us getting off our fat asses to change sides?
Just think, I can listen to Madonna on one side and then listen on the other while she regales me with her new-found Kabala rantings or maybe hear some words of wisdom about how R. Kelley feels about the prospects of young women to make it in todays society. Maybe even some tips from this fella. God, I'm so excited, I just wet myself :frowning:
Today's Wall Street Journal is reporting the DualDisc launch will occur in October.
I look forward to seeing the titles that come out. The WSJ reported we will see Miles Davis, Nine Inch Nails, and Jane's Addiction. The last two are certainly very mainstream but I wish that the Miles Davis is a new title. Another issue of Kind of Blue would be underwhelming.
The Bowie disc really is great (long, wonderful video), but for high-res you'll need the SACD. Thanks, Sony.
Releasing 'Kind of Blue' is fan-friendly, as it doesn't require all the Miles fans to bo buy an SACD player. I'm all for reissuing old titles in addition to new ones.
But Sony Corporate surely won't allow high-res on 'Kind of Blue'.
My view is that single inventory would be a positive development as it will drive people's curiosity. They need to really hold the price down in my opinion.
Let's hope they realize they are competing with MP3 not the Red Book version.
And--even before getting into what MTS has been calling out about Sony not putting hi rez on their Duals--may I just say that I resent/think it will be another point of confusion the way the phrase "enhanced sound" is being muddied by using it to describe "Surround Sound" that may very well be lossy. So now "enhanced sound" is apparently being added to the mix, as it were, distinct from "advanced resolution."
most of those artists have had dvd-a's or sacd's. but does that list of artists include dvd's? cause Ive never seen nor heard of an Eminem dvd-A/sacd. or do you suppose its one of artists they worked with for the dual-disc launch?
Excellent point Paul. Why can't the idiots in this business realize they need to simplify their products for the average consumer. All these different formats are confusing to only a very small handful of us audio geeks.
