Nice to see Silverline getting ready to kill ANOTHER format!
I'd still rather 24/48 for the surround than a Dolby version as on the Sony/BMG titles. At least it's not lossy.HiRes_PR said:Hello!
This is what I found. You can take a look at the official releases on Dualdisc from Universal on 11/23/2004. It seems they'll (record companies) have to make space on such discs and keep the Advance Resolution surround to 48KHz/24bit instead of 96KHz/24bit. Unfortunately!

Cai Campbell said:I hear ya on the compatibilty issues. I finally sh!t-canned my SD-9200 when it started freaking out when I tried to play DualDiscs. That was the last straw.
Cai Campbell said:I thought the SD-9200 was (and is) a wonderful machine. It suffers from the fact that it is a first generation DVD-A player. As a redbook/HDCD/DVD player, it is awesome. For DVD-A discs that it doesn't choke on (which, to be fair, is most of them) it is awesome as well. I still have the machine, I just kicked it upstairs. We still use it as a CD player and DVD player, but for hi-rez surround, its days are over.

Upon reading the Audiorevolution article more carefully it's actually 97% for DVD players and 98% for CD players. The 90% figure covers several cumulative problems. In any event I don't think the small sample used gives a good indication. Time will tell the magnitude of the problem.bmoura said:Well, according to the article on Audio Revolution at http://www.avrev.com/news/0904/2.dualdisc.html it's more like 90% for existing DVD and CD players according to the tests conducted for the record labels selling Dual Discs. That explains the disclaimer the record labels are printing on the back of the Dual Discs which says the disc "May not play on a limited number of models".

I have no problems playing either side with mine (after the upgrade).BOSSMAN said:Can anyone chime in on any capatability issues with Dual Discs on the Pioneer 563A? I'm not really too interested in the titles currently available, but should something peak my interest later on, I'd like to not have to worry about it. (I had my player upgraded last year to fix the DVD-A audio problem).
