    Now, this is just weird:


    I can't find it as anything but a rapidshare download & the catalog number on that pic is the same as the quad SQ LP...

    Don't make it up that way much since my brother moved, but if you're down in Durham and the studio is open, we can play with some gear & you'll see what I mean.

    That's kinda funny.....one of my brothers use to live in your area, but since he moved I haven't been back. :)
    Actually, I should qualify what I've said- I'm not really talking about DVD-A and SACD, but rather high-res PCM and DSD, in a studio, on a badass system, in a room with damn near perfect acoustics and no discs involved. The implementation of each system's playback probably greatly impacts it's quality, so it could be that they haven't yet built a DVD-A player that can compete with the SACD players on the market.

    I thought we were talking about Redbook PCM vs DSD SACD.

    Ah- yeah, no contest there. My original post was referring to that DVD-A of Rocks that I'd seen vs the SACD... which in this case would also be no contest (see below).

    Anyhow, in the studio we did find that you didn't need full 192khz PCM to not be able to tell it from DSD, but that line was fuzzy depending on what we were recording and how we were processing it.

    Heh- should have read the fine print. It's a high-res rip of the SQ LP. Oops. Crazy thing is that I actually saw this on a disc in a fleamarket somewhere.

    I would have sworn I have seen it as SACD or DVD-A not long ago. Can't remember where, but the price was way too high for me to bite. Like over $100.

    You touched on an important fact. Regardless of the final format, the mastering matters the most.

    I must have been hallucinating as I have been unable to find it. Believe me I have looked since discussion began. :o

    All I remember is that it was when I was purchasing "Toys" on SACD and I may just have seen some kind of "TBA" or some such listing for it. I'm getting old.

    Not even with free shipping? :)

    Yes, highly unlikely it will sell.

    Was in my local used record shop recently - took a peek at the Aerosmith section just in case this showed up (really did this - just for fun).

    I think it would be funny that after the buyer pays and receives it, that in a couple of months the SACD got a full release date. I would LMFAO:cool:

    Not that it will see the light of day.

    That wouldn't be surprising since something similar like that has happened before. I mean, if there's one "Rocks" SACD, there has to be others.
