Hi everyone, I'm so glad to be here. I've been a lifelong music lover (I'm a middle school band director by trade), but after getting out of the vinyl scene six or seven years ago because of the endless equipment upgrade loop and constant fear of accidentally damaging records, I went all in on digital/streaming. That all changed about a month ago when I discovered Blu Ray Audio, in particular Steven Wilson's Yes albums. When I first heard Close to the Edge I was blown away the 5.1 mix and knew there was no going back.
Next I discovered the world of multichannel SACDs, and have been taking advantage of their relative low price compared to pop releases. I've found that the format especially shines with vocal jazz, thanks to the excellent Concord Jazz Sampler, volume 2.
All this is to say I'm so happy to have found this community to help keep abreast of new releases. I already have an Apple TV 4k on order to take advantage of the Atmos mixes (though I haven't taken the plunge on an Atmost receiver yet).
Happy listening!
