Boston 76 - audio DVD (96kHz stereo, correct speed)

I fix, I fix..

16 bits - 2 to the power of 16 (or 65, 536) bits in a sample (a digital snapshot of any particular moment of audio)
24 bits - 2 to the power of 24 (or 16, 777, 216) bits in a sample - so this is much better quality
DVD-V - a regular DVD with audio and video
Audio DVD - a regular DVD with just audio and no video
DVD-A - an audio DVD that supports 5.1 and other quality options beyond the limitations of a regular audio DVD

16 bit is CD audio, but this recording was originally shared in 24.  After fixing the speed of the recording I could have just encoded it back to FLAC, but to listen to it on one's stereo it must be an audio DVD since you'd have to lose quality to convert it down to CD quality.

Hope this helps... !

God, this becomes a bit too technical for me, or is my english not being quite good !! I'm sure it is a really impressive project undertook here, and it sounds like the word "Quality" is everywhere around !! so thanks a lot for that one, even if I don't get everything right ;o)

Feel free to point out any typo or mistake.

Enjoy.

Great work as usual, Alex. I haven't checked it, but I think it's NTSC

Fantastic cover work!

Thanks to pittrek and Sir GH for the ultimate version! Thanks to Alex Solan for the beautiful cover!

Hey Alex Solan: I would like to have your  beautiful artwork also for the 16 bit CD version. Are you willing to make (modified) the same one for the 16 bit version, with aditional info ( as a booklet) from www.collectorsmusicreviews.com and Sir Gh 's site!?

DEAR PEOPLE:

this is not a DVD-A.

This is a DVD-V (video)

I PMed Alex Solan.
I respect all the work of him, as well Vali's one. But artwork should refelect what is this.
I mean, there must be no reference in the logos nor in the lineage of "DVD-AUDIO"...cause this is not a DVD-AUDIO!!!!

cheers and a hug to all of you, hope you understand I post this in absolut good faith and with constructive  mood :-)
