Grateful Dead May 77 Box Set Announced

Just a half hour ago dead.net announced they are releasing the new Betty Board Box Set from 1977 :-)

May 5 New Haven, CT

May 7 Boston, MA

May 8 Ithaca, NY

May 9 Buffalo, NY

... and will be transferred by Jeffery Norman using Plangent Processing (WOW that's great news)

Get Shown the Light, limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies, is available to pre-order exclusively from the Dead site. The Cornell set will also be available as a digital download in Apple Lossless and FLAC formats beginning May 5th. The Barton Hall concert will also be available in three-CD, limited-edition five-LP, digital download and streaming formats.

The full Light set will come in an elaborate box constructed by Masaki Koike, featuring a book by Peter Conners, Cornell '77: The Music, the Myth and the Legend of the Grateful Dead's Concert at Barton Hall, and an essay by Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether. (Conners' book will also be available for purchase separately.)

I hope Betty Cantor is being compensated with some of that $140...

unlikely given the recording technology used 

Plangent & HDCD is about the best you can hope for

a new thread for Don's hardware query above would be good, but...
what everyone is using to enjoy their Dead on CD:

I ripped mine ot Apple lossless on iTunes > WiFi to an Apple TV3 > DAC > ARC LS25 Mk II > Sunfire amp > Maggie 3.7i

i also have a Cal Audio player with PowerBoss and HDCD capable to use - may replace with Oppo 205

the Schiitt Yggy is a very, very good DAC, BTW

still have the CAL Audio spinner - may get the Oppo 205 (and use it as a DAC too); if so the CAL Audio spinner may just go downstairs as 2nd bedroom system (old Maggies and Sonic Frontiers Line 1 pre- also could be down there, at least for a while)

BTW, the downloads are listed as temp. unavailable right now on the GD website - maybe too many people are hitting the servers?

I'm curious which releases have the Plangent Process used?  Any of Dave's Picks, or when?
