I am totally aware that surround music has turned into an uber-ultra-tiny niche format but DTS pretty much started the digital version of surround music back in the late 90s when no one had ever heard of it.
They always seemed so excited about surround music and didn't seem like an organization that cared that much about what the mass-market liked. Hell they even sold t-shirts and other personal gear with surround motifs on them, IMO a sure sign of a company that was fun-minded and thought "out of the box".
I've seen people mention coming up with a label to re-issue other label's quad recordings - why not petition DTS Inc to do this?
I figured they would be more into quad re-issues since their main business is selling encoding/decoding surround gear and software for the movie industry and so if their 5.1 music titles didn't make huge profits, their DTS format biz would make up for it.....which is what I also believed when they were issuing all those DTS-CDs and later their dvd-audio titles.
FYI: I would take such recordings in DTS-CD form, dvd-video form (for that 1500+kbps data rate!!) or dvd-audio, whatever format is most financially viable for them.
