Steven Wilson Ultravox "Quartet" (Steven Wilson 5.1 mix out in May!)

[marpow]

Seems like typical US sources (Amazon US, CD Import, & Deep Discount) all revised the release date from July 7 to July 21 overnight.
Every time with this series.

And my Amazon order says "we'll email you when available" - Ugh Might have to switch to ordering from Burning Shed. they haven't changed the date yet

Sometimes, actually quite a few times, I get these Amazon messages, I cancel my order, re-order and it comes within days.

Good idea. I should probably do that. I have been caught a few times with them where I pre-order early and my allotted copy is locked into the one vendor order that doesn't get fulfilled right away.

I got a note from Amazon. Seems delayed past July 7th?

Got the same note

Seems a waste to put it out on DVDA instead of Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray is a much more stable medium and every Blu-Ray player will play them. Not all DVD players and all BR machines will play DVDA. How much cheaper could it be?

DVDA

DVDV?

This is a standard DVD with DTS 96/24 audio, as opposed to a DVD-A with MLP audio. Every Blu-Ray player will play this disc.

Though there are still a handful of consumer machines made that handle DVD-A, professional authoring software is nigh-impossible to find in 2023. Even DGM/Panegyric doesn’t offer them anymore.

I hope you don't have too much trouble getting the correct version.

I received notification for my order from amazon.uk that it is on it's way and I double checked and did order the cd\dvd version, Phew,

It is a BIG shame it is only lossy core DTS and not MLP, or even DTS-HDMA or is the latter also not allowed on 'standard DVD' ? If so, what a stupid mess DVD standards are in! As for DVD-A authoring software: it might be old, but it is available, and still does the job.

Good to know but Blu-Ray is still better and has a much longer shelf life. DVD uses an inferior manufacturing process that is less stable than CD and Blu-Ray.

As long as the Blu-ray use quality materials which isn't always the case.

Sorry to hear that! Personnally I am not ordering these oversized limited editions from Amazon anymore due to the poor packaging. JPC or JustForKicks are my favourite shops even though that they are 10 - 20% more expensive than Amazon.

Enjoy Ultravox!

True but I've had DVDs go bad just sitting on the shelf. Plus they hold a lot less info. And you can't access menus while listening.

Arrives today.

Got a notice from Amazon yesterday that release date delayed again and I would get a notification as to the new date. Very strange!
