Steely Dan: Gaucho DTS CDs (1980)

“

Aja was cool, relaxed, and controlled; it sounded deceptively easy. Its follow-up, Gaucho, while sonically similar, is its polar opposite: a precise and studied record, where all of the seams show. Gaucho essentially replicates the smooth jazz-pop of Aja, but with none of that record's dark, seductive romance or elegant aura. Instead, it's meticulous and exacting; each performance has been rehearsed so many times that it no longer has any emotional resonance. Furthermore, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's songs are generally labored, only occasionally reaching their past heights, like on the suave "Babylon Sisters," "Time Out of Mind," and "Hey Nineteen." Still, those three songs are barely enough to make the remainder of the album's glossy, meandering fusion worthwhile.

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.

Just in case anyone wants to convert this to mp3 (I converted to 320kb/s to play in my car), DTS format can be converted to mp3 using the latest VLC media player (freeware)

Thanks for the great share, btw
Cheers

Hi Desertrat.

I can open all tracks but Babylon Sisters with Foobar. Babylon Sisters only gives me fuzzy sound. Any comments?

Regards Mark

@ marktherob2001
Try to rename .wav to .dts, I believe it will help to play the files.

@ marktherob2001

JustPlay is correct changing the extension to dts should do the trick, if not please state which dts cd is giving you problems.

All the files 2-7 open in foobar without any problems however Babylon sisters no. When renamed to dts or dtswav will not open with foobar. But here's a funny thing while playing the fuzz sound i go into foobar remove then re add the dts plugin it then plays. Maybe it's a flaw in the header of the file. When I open all of the files 02 thru 7 in VLC they show as 5.1 in audio device but 01 Baylon sisters says its says its stereo which would indicate some sort of flaw with the file.
