why would anyone want to listen to music in 5.1 or 7.1 surround? it's not like there is a flying F-15 or an huge explosion in the middle of vicarious. there is nothing "directional" in music. the music was produced in stereo and should be listened in stereo. listening to studio music in 5.1 is like playing vinyl on 5.1 surround--that's just oxymoronic. and i've never bought into the whole DVD-A idea.

Juzblome was spot on in describing the problems associated with DVD audio. Like I said earlier, they should have put on the DVD an uncompressed PCM audio option.

Stereophile for live!
