The Beatles Love DVD-A now avail - Page 6

s2silber,

Good find. What do you think it all means. I don't download music so I could care less if they make it available for iPods. I just want all hi-rez --all the time.

I was also disappointed by the lack of a commercial. Hopefully something is still in the works...

I think it means that something is, indeed, in the works; the prepared statements by Jobs and Aspinall certainly suggest that. Also, given previous mention during the last civil trial that the catalogue was being remastered, I think there will be both a download deal and CD reissues. As to whether they'll be DVD-A or any other enhanced audio, I think that will depend alot on how well the "deluxe" edition of the "Love" recording sold.

I have had the LOVE cd/DVD-a set since December and only recently got a universal player (oppo 980H) for playing dvd-a and sacd. I must be missing something because both discs in the package have the same item numbers and labeling and nothing that I can find to distinguish CD from DVD-A. My player looks at both as CD. I thought for sure there has been a mix up at the factory and was going to write for a replacement. But after reading through this thread I think I have a dvd-a but am not 100% sure how to confirm or get it to play on the OPPO.

The oppo has no problem with Queen Night at the Opera DVD-a; it has a menu come up and I select DVD-A and away I go.

What is the scoop with this LOVE set? Is the answer buried in the thread? Is there a distinguishing mark on the disk that i am missing or did my set get mispackaged?

Both disks labeled cdp 0946 379810 2 3 with capitol and apple emblems but no mention of dvd-a,dts or dolby dig other than back cover.

The 'DVD Audio' logo should be clearly seen on the actual disc itself next to the spindle hole right above the picture of the 'leaping lads'. If this log is no there, then you may have a set with two copis of the CD version - easy enough to swap I would think.

BTW, this disc is perhaps the best example of how amazing hirez 5.1 can sound. Incredible that 35-40 year old recordings can sound so good. It is a crime that the record companies squandered the potential of DVD-A/SACD by doing such a lousy job of releasing software. Boy would I love to get the rest of the Beatlers catalog in hirez - perhaps downloads offer some hope.

I totally agree. One of the best hi-rez in my collection if not THE best.

Joseph,

Your Oppo should should read and display DVD-A when the disc is loaded. Swap it out. You will not believe the sound !!
