I just picked up my new HT setup including a Yamaha RX-V2600 and a Yamaha C950 DVD player.
It supports DVD-A and SACD. I did not realize that you needed a different setup for SACD, meaning the 6 channel cable.
I bought 1 DVD-A, The Globe Sessions by Sharyl Crowe.
I sorted out the entire setup and listened to quite a few CD's and watched a few movies and have been very impressed. The speakers are Defintive's 7002's, CLR2000 Center, and the BP2X's for the rears.
I was pretty disappointed in the DVD-A. Mostly the 5.1 track. I get better sound from leaving in 7 channel Stereo than in Straight DTS/DD pass through.
Maybe its just the DVD I bought but I was not impressed, not just in the 5.1 track but the sound quality over CD.
First off, can anyone recommend a GOOD DVD-A. I don't really care what genre it is, I just want a good clear 5.1 channel recording to 'show off' the system I guess.
I know it must come down to authoring also. Is SACD held to a higher authoring standard? The DVD I bought when playing the 5.1 track has no rears at all and they overblow the center channel.
Any tips would be appreciated.
