DTS-CD's. What's your latest?

[Simon A]

I was able to score this one for a song and I'm pretty happy with it. It's a standard immersive live mix, but the performaces are stellar and the fidelity superb. For Jazz lovers, it's a no-brainer and well worth seeking out.

Ray Brown Trio With Ulf Wakenius - Summertime (Telarc CD-83430-DTS)

TELARC & DTS together does imply Audiophile sonics, and it's good and (pre-2000) vintage. I love the vintage stuff being unearthed.

"standard immersive live mix" means not four-cornered discreet assault right? Seems a Jazz quartet could of really sounded unique and special. But glad the fidelity is great.

This is a live recording and it simply sounds like how many live performances are recorded. It's not a discrete mix, but it far more than simple ambience in the rears. I do agree that a more adventurous engineer would have offered something more corner active.

Well this is one I definitely do not have.
I do have some funky Japanese & Chinese stuff. lol. Pretty tame.

I've had this one for quite some time. It's been a while since I last listened to it, though.

The best thing about DTS-CD's are that can be nornally ripped to a file and played back into a DTS decoder to play without issues.

Yes. But these days everyone wants flac, flac, flac. That's fine. I'd rather listen to lossy encoded music in it's native format. Call me old school....

DTS rips to FLAC indeed. I'll take the best quality I can get at a smaller file size if and when possible.

Indeed... People need to keep the original lossy DTS.wav bit-stream...

Or de-mux the native dts stream out of wav container and re-mux it into the mka container - which is what I do

Yes, that's what I was referring to.

Smaller file sizes don't mean much to me when you can buy a real good 20TB drive for 350 bucks.

Yeah I now have 36TB storage on my PC not including my nvme2 OS drive - even in Canada the last few 8TB drives I’ve picked up are just CDN$159.99 which is excellent. No space concerns, even with full 4K Ultra HD backups.

Sweet. I'm running about 66TB and a few SSD's. Got 6 HDD's filled with nothing but BD backups/.iso's boxed up on the shelf. Got a couple of 4TB older drives I'll probably convert to backup and hope to replace with bigger drives.

The Telarc Sampler
This is a Great Album. Telarc seems to have embraced surround sound. They have also released on DVD-A and SACD. I even have one of Dolby Surround CD releases, Switched-On Bach 2000.

Wow--Telarc gave just about every last surround format a go at some point, didn't they? A shame they didn't survive into the age of Atmos, but maybe Concord, their current owner, will do something with the catalog eventually.

It would be something if DV could get ahold of the Telarc library.

While entering my collection into MusicCollector I came across a Telarc title, The Great Fantasy Adventure Album, that they encoded with "Spatializer" which they say is compatible with Dolby Prologic.
I also came across a Pro-Arte title, Sample Surround, which is encoded with Shure HTS Stereosurround.I
