Some sites do offer music at 5.0 or 5.1 FLAC. These tend to come from companies that also release their music in SACD format (The London Symphony Orchestra is a good example). (Probably because basically the work is already complete in multiple channel.) HDTracks has started offering some of this material in multichannel, as does NativeDSD.com. (Here's the NativeDSD albums in 5.0 - over 1000! - https://www.nativedsd.com/catalogue/?filter_channel=5ch) As to why DG does not make their files available this way (as of now), my guess is that they know the market is relatively niche for home multichannel playback. DG has been releasing 5 channel and Atmos mixes on Apple Music and Tidal likely assuming playback will be on streaming devices in a TV multiple speaker environment. So, maybe for sale versions will be following someday from DG since they are preparing the files for their releases. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to extract the multichannel mixes from the Blu-ray audio discs. For me, I do a two step process to back up the BRA disc and then one to convert the files to Flac. But admittedly, I would prefer to just download the files without the extra work. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lairdo 726 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Interesting... I gave up my Apple Music subscription so I don't see their Atmos mixes. So you could buy it from there too - but not in lossless Dolby Almos or 5.1 format. The physical CD+BR Deluxe Edition has a sticker saying it is the only version with 5.1 sound. Either they mean the only physical copy with 5.1/Atmos or the digital people are not speaking to the physical people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Schilkeman 957 Posted February 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2022 On 09/02/2022 at 11:45 AM, lairdo said: Ooops. Fixed. Thanks. My 7" record shipped as well. I am so surprised that DG actually split the order. Hasn't arrived (I expect it will take 2 weeks). Awesome! My order cleared customs in LA yesterday, so hopefully will arrive today or tomorrow. DHL just says it has departed LA but not where it is at the moment. This is correct. The theory (not borne out by any reviews I have read) is that the plastic produces more defined pits in the surface. This allows the laser pick up to better and more accurately read the discs, without losing data to rounded or soft versions. This should reduce the amount of error correction needed and thus produce an output closer to the master used for the CD. The information is still encoded at 16/44.1 just as CDs always have been. I would guess that any decent CD, DVD or Blu-ray player that plays CDs and is in a stationary position will not see a big benefit. Maybe if you are playing a CD in your car, the better plastic will make up for vibration? But then, you are in your car and how the heck could you tell the difference anyway? The other recent format, MQA-CD, which I think was used on the Japan version of across the stars (but maybe I am confusing this with another JW release), supposedly folds extra information about the audio into a data track. CD players that can read this data then unpack the audio into a higher resolution. But this too is just a compression trick, and reviews have shown little difference in regular and MQA CDs. 2/10 Addition: My order from Japan arrived, and I see now that the CD is both UHQ and encoded in MQA. Still, basically 16/44.1 - and that should be perfectly fine for listeners. All of the hires audio, as much as I love it, is generally seen as useless as long as you stay in a lossless format (e.g. no MP3 or AAC encoding). I don't have any experience with UHQ Cd's, but I have been thoroughly convinced, through my own ears, and examples I have found, that MQA is a scam being perpetrated on the music industry.

Well, Karajan's Alpensinfonie was DG's first ever CD release, if I recall correctly. A shame he never recorded it in the 70s along with his other Strauss repertoire (I find all those recordings superior to his digital remakes). But what we really need is a regular release of his Salzburger live performance with the Wiener Philharmoniker. 4 hours ago, eitam said: Crazy ! What's next, DG opens a John Williams - themed park ?
