New Doors box set


Just wanted to post a couple quick comments on the new Doors Box set 'perception'.

It is the real deal. Fantastic packaging, DVD audio of all albums in stereo and 5.1 with DTS and dolby versions if you need that, quality booklets that actually talk about the individual albums rather than the story of the band.

I have only listened in DVD audio 2ch so far and all I can say is wow. The Doors album have always been considered well recorded for rock, but it is kicked open on this one. The change in speed for the the fist album (correction for mis-calibrated tape deck)is more noticeable to me that that on Kind of blue. In comparing the old speed version to the the new it is clearly better separate from the sound quality difference.

Of course I have bought all this music numerous times, I now have all three box sets, and yes I feel used But I have to say this is the way to do a do a box set.

I have been focusing on analog over the past years and I am a little out of touch w/ high resolution digital formats. With this box I know there are the 6 Doors CDs w/ bonus tracks. I understand by the original post that there are also DVD-a discs, which I know LA Woman was previously available. Even though I already have a few of my favorite Doors on DCC gold and DCC Vinyl, is there a fair benefit in getting this set if I dont have a DVD-a player.
The cds surpass the DCC gold to me, and those were my favorite before this set. Hard to say about the vinly as my vinyl rig is not up to the standard of my cd player. I think if the DVDs are of no use it is probably over priced for just the CDs. They will probably release them as seperate cds later since that is what they did with the last remastering.
What is the Advanced Resolution Surround ?, and Advanced Resolution Stereo (DVD-A)? 24/96 or ???
Madhf,

I'm guessing that you have a DVD-Audio player that you're using as a regular DVD player.

DVD-audio players can't access the standard DVD content (the Dolby Digital and DTS mixes) on a DVD-Audio disc.

I'm not sure why it is, but it's a real pain point for users like myself who have a DVD-Audio player but lack 5-channel discrete input on their preamps.
Advanced Resolution Surround and Advanced Resolution Stereo are DVD-A, on the doors box they are 24/96 but can be different bit rates.

I never noticed that before about Dolby Digital and DTS. I only use stereo on my modified Denon but it does appear that I can only play the DVD-A stream and not the others.
