Note that some of the future DVD-Audio releases will be a low as 44.1/20 for advanced resolution stereo no less. What is the sense?

It's probably recorded at that resolution.
It makes a lot of sense releasing the recording in it's native resolution.

It's probably why all the different sample rates and bit resolutions are incorperated in the DVD Audio specs.

Are you buying music or sample rates?

I don't care about the sample rate. Let it be 44.1/16... but let it be multichannel!!!

Hey, I'm still trying my damdest to upgrade the resolution/bit-rate in my Technics Q8 deck!!!! There's got to be an upsampling adjustment somewhere under all those wires!!!!

The music is what matters of course, and there have been some very good releases at 48/24. As long as these sound as good as their equivalent SACD releases, where applicable, I'll be happy.

I noticed a distinct LACK of DTS versions, as well. That sucks for those of us without a DVD-A specific player. (Yea yea, laugh it up... )

Anyone know what the track listing is on the Marvin Gaye disc? If it's the same as the DTS collection (and, more importantly, the same mixes), I guess there's no point in buying that.

Also, I noticed the picture they used for the "Frampton Comes Alive" is the "Deluxe Edition" packaging - I wonder if that means it'll retain bonus tracks/track listing from that version, as well.

The DTS cd "Forever Yours" is like a greatest hits album. The new SACD of Marvin is the album "Let's Get It On". There are two songs that appear on both, otherwise they are totally different. Don't know if the mixes on those two songs are the same, as I haven't gotten around to playing the SACD yet.

I know that Let's Get It On is scheduled on SACD in 5.1 but the release they have listed is "The Marvin Gaye Collection". So what's the deal???

Yea, I knew all that already, but there's also a DVD-A coming out from Universal called "The Marvin Gaye Collection" and I was wondering what the track listing is for that, and whether there's any overlap with the "Forever Yours" disc, which I already own. If it's the same songs, and the same mixes, I doubt I'll bother with the new DVD-A, since I don't have a DVD-A player, and the DVD-A doesn't have a DTS version as well.

I wonder if Universal is planning a DVD-A version of "Let's Get It On" as well, since they seem to be releasing stuff in both formats now (and releasing DVD-A versions of stuff that was previously available only as DTS Entertainment releases, like the Sting and Sheryl Crow albums on that site).
