Ever since a fellow Acura MDX enthusiast told me what software I needed to transcode my DVD-Audio discs to DTS (works for any that are 5.1, but it will not work on 5.0 or 4.1 or 4.0, alas), I've had a great time listening to DTS discs that I've burned for my MDX enjoyment. I also rediscovered the fun of creating my own MixDiscs (takes me back to the old mixtape days). Today, I've been listening to 5.1 versions of Fleetwood Mac's "Monday Morning," the Beatles' "Help," Chicago's "Make Me Smile," Carly Simon's "No Secrets," John Lennon's "Imagine," Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle," the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin," and more. The sound, while not as great as DVD-Audio, is very crisp and sharp and the surround placement is strong and distinct.
One thing I did right away was to transfer my three or four Acura DTS DVD-Audio demo discs to DTS, since they often had songs that I don't own on DVD-Audio otherwise. (And in the case of "Monday Morning," the only place I know where that 5.1 mix appeared was on an Acura demo disc from 2009 or 2010.)
Now, if I could only figure out to transfer that 5.0 version of David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name or that 4.0 copy of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, I'd be truly thrilled...
