What I’m trying to say here is that DVD-Audio sounds amazing.  I don’t have a 5.1 speaker system but my Audigy 2 ZS can still play back 24-bit stereo.  This is quite a step-up from the 16-bit stereo found on CDs and you can tell the difference.  Why am I suddenly doing a post on DVD-A?  Because I just got the reissued version of Porcupine Tree’s Stupid Dream.  Sure, it came out in 2006, but that doesn’t mean that the DVD-A tracks aren’t awesome.

The recording is of a superior quality and there is a lot of detail I’m hearing.  New sounds even.  Steven Wilson is truly a studio genius.  All these songs sound new and I’m loving it!  Plus, the DVD comes with bonus tracks such as a 15-minute version of Even Less and the video for Piano Lessons.
