Anyone got Queen Night at The Opera Yet?
This DVD-A/DTS disc was supposed to be (finally!) released today, I was wondereing if anyone has got it yet? I ordered mine a few weeks ago, so I'm hoping it will get here this week (was kinda hoping it would be here when I got home).
Come, let's have some first impressions!

It was certainly worth the wait! The clarity is incredible  It's my first piece of 24/96 material. I don't have anything that plays DVD-A but the LPCM and DTS tracks are incredible by themselves!

When did you order it? I ordered mine in mid April, and it does say first come first served.
I've a horrible feeling I'm going to have to return mine anyway, as it has seems to skip at the same point each time on one of the soundtracks

As long as you can play 24bit/96khz PCM (I think all DVD players are capabele of this) and/or full-bitrate 5.1 DTS then you should be fine. Obviously DVD-A players have the added advantage of being able to use the full 24/96 DVD-A track, but I certainly can't, the other two tracks play fine.

excellent. Might just have to order this then.
I like the idea of DVD-Audio & SACD but my budget dictates I wait to see which one becomes more prevelent in the market.
Regards

They are not you know. Are you sure you are not just playing a straight DTS soundtrack?

DTS is 1536kbps 5.1 audio track in 24/96 and the LCPM is 4608kbps in 24/96. I don't know that teh DVD-A track is as I can't play it.
I use power dvd XP btw, but my amp (Denonn AVR-2801) can read LPCM track fine when use SP/DIF out, and can decode the DTS track fine as well.
