It's Dolby Digital. Get the dts version.

Yes, the 30th Anniversary edition is not DVD-A, nor is it DTS. The DTS CD is a DIFFERENT MIX, as is the Q8. So, you're comparing apples and oranges.

Hee! Well, I've always had the DTS version, which I love...and I never really thought about getting the DD version but all this chatter tipped me over the edge. Soooo - just ordered a copy from Amazon and a third party and got it shipped for $12.65. I'd say that's money well spent. Can't wait to compare them... :)

$9 Thanks all
 
I'm pretty sure there was a mention of DVD-A in marketing material for Tusk too. Someone seems to think DVD-A is a DVD with audio-only. They should use 'ADVD' or 'Audio-only DVD' - assuming it's the same as the Tusk disc, and I doubt it will be different.

That leaves the studio to release a Fleetwood Mac BDA hi-res set of the hit albums 'Quadio' style around 2019 after the current round of big box sets are completed :)

A late breaking addition!

I have just ordered the new Analogue Productions SACD of "Head Hunters" by Herbie Hancock from amazon seller Puretone Audio
I tried going through one of the other SACD retailers, but all had their drawbacks.
Acoustic Sounds' shipping rate was too high. Elusive Disc's order page kept coming up as unavailable, and MusicDirect says the SACD is on a 4-6 week backorder, so the 3rd party amazon seller wins! :)

Karl at Puretone is really good.
He's an active member over at SHF, have bought from him quite a few times.

It is, but I still have a month to stake out a better price, as long as the shipping time is short.
But then again, I also have a lot of amazon gift card money, so maybe I can use some of it to pay down the cost of the set.
I'm still deciding what to do for sure about this one! :)

Rule of Thumb: Amazon used to have decent prices on BD~A and SACDs but NOT anymore. What they do excel at is great prices on BD~Vs....probably to compete with Best Buy, Walmart, B&N, etc. who don't really sell SACDs and BD~As.....or, if so, not in any appreciable quantities.

When I do order BD~As/SACDs thru AmazonUS, it's usually through third party vendors who do occasionally have some great prices.

Guaranteed, the Chicago Quadio BD~As will eventually dip below $100.....and probably sooner than expected.

The Chicago box is one thing, but the vast majority of Audio Fidelity SACDs I have purchased from amazon have been $24.99 or less ("The Collection" being an exception but that one is priced higher everywhere) and $25 for an AF SACD is not an outrageous price at all IMHO.
 
Genesis Selling England by the Pound Blu-Ray, I have the SACD but couldn't resist because it's so well done. Too bad we didn't get the rest of them in Blu.

We were supposed to, and I'm honestly not sure what happened, but at least they are on SACD, and we can't say that about all surround releases that ended up being just DVD-V…
