[SteveB]

Found this web site that is selling DTS 5.1 music dvds'. Anyone try these or anything like these?

yeah I have. DTS, DVD Audio, and SACD's. I have some of the surround formats that are sadly going the way of the dodo. i enjoy music in surround very much although with the individual discs a lot depends on the mix. check out sound and visions web site for some cataloged reviews. they used to do a lot of reviews on the surround discs.

I have Sting's "Brand New Day" on DTS 5.1. It gets a little cute with the surround effects (nothing says convincing like hearing a drum solo moving around the room one speaker at a time), so I use it sort of as a demo disc. Multi-channel SACD's seem to sound better IMHO.

I don't have any of those listed, but I do have "Dr Chesky and His Band of Maniacs - Dr Chesky's 5.1 Surround Sound Show". It is unusual but fun and a great demo disk, but I don't play it often. It can play DTS or DVD-A. There are 38 tracks that make use of the surround effects. They range from interesting, to soothing, to funny, to unusual.

I believe the sound on these can be amazing, but they cannot be played in my auto stereos or any of my portable players. So I've not purchased any more.

Now you guys having me want to break out some of these surround discs! I remember Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots 5.1 by the Flaming Lips is awesome in DVD-A. I'm not even a fan of the group but the surround mix is great. Also, Dark Side of the Moon on SACD is pretty good...
