Couldn't play a DTS stream from a 44.1/16 file, only multi-channel WAV/FLAC. However, if you feed the OPPO with the same file over HDMI in, it will gladly decode the DTS in 5.1ch. Julien

I just picked up that Hell Freezes Over DTS CD . Sounds great overall considering it’s a concert mix. I guess I’ll keep looking for the DTS LD of it if the mix is indeed different.

If that’s the only difference and it’s not even an improvement, I may just skip it then. I guess price on the item will determine that for me. Thanks for letting me know .

I have several dozens of DTS-CDs released by the French labels BNL, Syrius and Passavant. The purpose of this CDs was to released multichannel albums of classical or jazz/blues music recorded naturally with minimal mic techniques (1 mic = 1 channel of audio) to be reproduce with front-end multichannel speaker layout. The advantage of this technique is that it is possible to enjoy multichannel sound with only 3 or 4 of the 5 channels if, for whatever reasons, it is not possible to have 5 front-end identical speakers. This recording are generally excellent. Some are still in stock nowadays. The full catalogue can be asked by mailing the distributor : https://www.socadisc.com/ The album that have been released on DTS-CD bear the DTS logo on the CD cover.

I have been collecting dts CDs for decades now ... and I never heard of them! Did they start released double CDs 2ch/5ch recently? No mention of DTS releases on Discogs either.

Hi ! Thank you for your interest. I think the older DTS CD from one of this label is this one : Attachment:
passavant-pas1007.jpeg [ 54.65 KiB | Viewed 1426 times ]
It is special because it contains the same program material on the same disc in ordinary CD Audio format and DTS, separated by some 20 mn of silence for security reason. That way, direct comparison with the same disc player between the 2 channels version (only L/R microphones used) and the multichannel version is possible. It is dated 2003. Discogs lists some DTS CDs from these labels, but they are hard to find with the search engine. For instance : https://www.discogs.com/release/1501720 ... Sonat-op19https://www.discogs.com/release/1501844 ... o-MascioniTo listen to this kind of recordings, this loudspeaker lay-out is mandatory : Attachment:

But it is possible to use only the left, front and center channels and enjoy a better stereophonic effect than in 2 channels nevertheless. I currently listen to this disc that way, because to this day I have only a three channels Hi-fi system (more channels awaiting...).

It's worth noting that both the DTS CD and the DTS LD were issued twice. Apparently Don Henley was unhappy with the mixes used for the original editions for both and had them recalled/reissued.
