In Reply to: RE: Chris Botti "Live" BD Is ACES!!!! posted by Robertc88 on February 22, 2008 at 07:06:05
As I've mentioned elsewhere (you know where), I think Chris Botti's been unfairly labeled as a 'smooth jazz' musician, and while there's some truth to it, I think he's much better than that, and this BD showcases him brilliantly. The 96/24 PCM sound quality is terrific--even on old-fashioned 2-channel stereo--and the picture quality is terrific as well.

a high quality sound format piggybacking on video.
Something I've noticed is that PCM soundtracks appear to be turning into a thing of the past. More and more Blu-ray discs are coming out with TrueHD soundtracks.
I don't have anything against TrueHD, but what's the point of the large capacity and high bit-rate capability of Blu-ray if no one uses it?
At least you can still use the Lossless. Be thankful its not DTS-HD MA.

and the process is lossless.
This does not ensure that we cannot hear a sideeffect, like PSU loaded by pocessing power use, and analog amps suffering. Or calculations might clip in the digital domain, or jitter might raise its ugly head.
But in principle, TrueHD, dts HD MA and PCM give out the same bits to the DAC.
So I think Dolby True HD is OK, and dts HD MA is better, simply due to the preset choices.
But care in mixing and transfer seems more important to me.
this is best blu-ray i've seen.audio @ video are unbeliveable. i've seen this one four times and i've only had it two days. those drums will never be heard in a elevater.
