“

Not since his debut, Entrance, had Edgar Winter appeared in a solo capacity. This time out, he reverts to his heavy jazz and gospel influences to produce an album that merits much more attention than what it ultimately received. Winter is decidedly laid-back on tracks such as "Hello Mellow Feelin'" and "Tell Me in a Whisper," which serve as the finest of the nine tracks here. Winter puts on his party hat once again with the rocking "Out of Control," the final track on a pretty nice little rock & roll document.

WARNING: This CD requires DTS compatible equipment or software for playback. Don't play this on equipment that isn't compatible because you'll only hear static and it can damage your speakers!

5.1 Music Disc - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The DTS-CD, DTS Audio CD or 5.1 Music Disc (official name) is an audio Compact Disc that contains music in surround sound format. It is a predecessor of DVD Audio. Physically, it conforms to the Red Book standard, except for the way the music is encoded on the CD. Where regular CDs store the music as linear PCM, the DTS-CD stores music using the DTS format, with the same fixed bitrate as 16-bit linear PCM, namely 1,411,200 bit/s or roughly 1,378 Kib/s.

As opposed to other surround formats, such as Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio, which require a specialized player, a DTS-CD is compatible with most standard CD players with a digital (S/PDIF) output. CD (and DVD) players recognize the disk as a standard audio CD. The only requirement is a receiver that can decode DTS audio.

To me it would be useless to down this. I don't even know whether I could play it safely......

I have Logitech Squeezebox. It has two digital out's: S/PDIF and TOSLink (Optical).
Two signal paths:
SqueezeBox --> S/PDIF --> External DAC --> Stereo Amplifier
SqueezeBox --> TOSLink --> A/V Receiver --> Left&Right Channels via PreOut to Stereo Amplifier

Playing DTS/AC3 files encoded to FLAC's my External DAC refuses such a signal and nothing is being sent to Stereo Amplifier. However, A/C Receiver recognizes and fully decodes the signal to multichannel.

The only thing about DTS-CD's which bothers me is the bandwidth of 1378 kB/s.
I would rather see 1536 kB/s to utilize maximum bandwidth of S/SPIF connection.

To achieve this I would need DTS encoder (expensive!) and encode DVD-A's myself...

I owned this on vinyl in the '70s and can remember it as a very unusual and interesting album. Side two especially freaked me out!

I don't think it's fair to post that it is useless to you. Why post at all? Some people will appreciate being able to listen to this fine record in 5.1 surround. What would be nice, however, is if somebody can post a method for converting this to two channel flac :)

@mrask - Thanks for replying to the 2 previous comments. Unfortunately I don't have any stereo versions of this title and it makes no sense to try and make 2.0 out of 5.1, it will never be the same as the original stereo mix. Maybe someone else has a stereo version they can post?

@MrGreenfinch - from your comment it seems you've never made a DVDA (it requires MLP not DTS), padding the 1378 kB/s (dts cd) to make 1536 kB/s (dts dvd) makes no sense either. "Using the maximum bandwidth of S/SPIF connection" will not improve the sound any.

I didn't mean making of DVD-A (even if it looks so). I just mean if you have a DVDA source and rip 6 mono WAV's you can either encode them to 5.1 FLAC - and have no option to play it - or encode it using some kind of lossy codec (AC3 or DTS, I don't mean HD codecs for now).
So I could theoretically create DTS 96/24 which is 1536 kB/s - out of spec for DTS-CD.

Is "DTS 96/24 1536 kB/s" or "DTS 1536 kB/s" any better than "DTS 1378 kB/s"? It may be pointless to even discuss it as all of them are lossy. However, from collector's point of view we always want to have the best we can obtain. Just to sleep well :)

For retail DTS-CD's this is pointless discussion. For self-made DTS files from DVDA's I would love to get DTS 96/24. I just can't afford DTS encoder to make it myself :) I see some hope with current DLNA capable gear (AV receivers, players like Oppo). Some day they will support FLAC 5.1 via network.

Thanks for all the stuff you provide here!
