I do have a lot of DVDA in 5.1 it does really sound good , some mixes are gimicky but there are good ones like the discs AIX put out a decade ago .
As i have a Meridian system i have well functioning surround modes even for 2ch music I often use these they enhance the experience in some situations . I think even paul klispsh was onto it in the 50's or something with an idea of a center fill channel for stereo . Even if things are recorded with 2 ch does not necesarily mean that you must play them back with 2 ch . I dont think these things are mutually exlusive , for example combining home theater and hifi . And I only did 2ch rips of my DVDA discs , I have no way of playing back discrete 6 ch files . I guess i'm open to suggestions on what to use for that , do you guys use a htpc or something and what software ? My experience is that video and music demands completely different strategies and tagging and also browsing software . Whats good for films and tv series might not be ideal for music . Would be nice if multichannel where supported by LMS and if the software players supported it ,it could be used with a wandboard or similar . But I realise that downloads in 6ch and hirez is an even rarer thing than real music in DSD , so maybe it's not worth anyone’s time unless for the fun of it . I think my old pile >100 DVDA is what could have been and history , but music bluerays is a thing , but they often come with video too ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
