DTS-CD First successful Quad conversion!

[Urban Spaceman]

Hi all!
I've been lurking here for awhile and soaking up information like crazy over the years and I want to say a BIG thank you to all the contributors here because last night I did my first successful Quad to DTS conversion! I'm just STOKED about this! Now I can finally hear those Quad LPs that have been in my collection for years - just dreaming of how they might sound decoded. As I type this I'm currently working on my SQ LP of West, Bruce and Laing's "Why Dontcha". Folks, this is the very first time I have ever included a :banana: in any post on ANY forum! Kudos to the brilliant folks here for all the scripts and helpful directions - you've made my quad dreams a reality! Bright Moments!

Great news and welcome to the "Converter's Club"!!!
Hope you are recording it in 96/24 (even if you're only doing a dts cd conversion because anyone of us can do a Hi definition DVDA)and remember to save the original Stereo file.
Looking forward to the "Why dont'cha?" conversion!

Congrats. It's a great feeling to do your first conversion. Now you're hooked, and your free time is GONE!

Yes, quad is awesome, and even better when you can back up the media to a more durable and current format. Been doing Q8 and Q4's myself. Haven't ventured into the SQ, QS, CD-4 arena yet. Only have one quad LP so far.

Thanks for all the encouraging replies! I finished my conversion of the West, Bruce and Laing album and was pleasantly surprised at how it came out! Not bad, especially since I haven't graduated to 96/24 yet. Even at 44100 it sounds pretty good to me. I haven't fooled around with DVD-A creating programs yet (maybe once I upgrade to a 96/24 soundcard) so DTS will have to do for now. But what it is doing is blowing my mind. Next up - Sly and the Family Stone Greatest Hits!
