ItРІР‚в„ўs true that the digital streamingР’В convenience isР’В greatР’В andР’В that direct access to thousand of movies and hundreds of TV Shows is a blessing. Of course all the digital natives out there are already laughing while reading this andР’В a lot of them will never buy a Blu-ray movie, even less a 4K one.

With the recent update on what Ultra HD Blu-rayР’В will offer and the fact that the format specs will be officially confirmed in the upcoming weeks according to the always interesting Bill Hunt at The Digital Bits, IРІР‚в„ўm convinced even more that I wantР’В the format to succeed and that I will try at least for one more generation of technologyР’В to augment my movie library. If you are Bryan Adams fans, Reckless is needless to say the most important album of his career and this is definitively a great way to listen to it. This means that as long as I have a Blu-ray player available, IРІР‚в„ўll be able to use those discs in their intended quality. IРІР‚в„ўve been burned before by new generation audio formats (DVD Audio anyone ?) and what I like about the so called Blu-ray Audio is that its not really a format, but a clever usage of the already existing standards of the Blu-ray format.

ItРІР‚в„ўs a bit like buying a Blu-ray and getting a download code for the film in standard definition. ItРІР‚в„ўs an interesting idea, but as long as purchasing a high definition audio disc, I would have preferred getting access to 24-bit/96 kHz FLAC files instead. The album finally comes with a download code for the songs that are available in mp3 format at 320kbps. The Blu-ray audio also includes a 5.1 mix created specifically for this release, which is interesting and adds dimension to the listening experience. Reckless also comes with seven extra tracks that were recorded in studio at the same time of the album but did not make it finally on the recording. Is the audio really better than the CD version of the tracks ? It is up to debate with audio experts, but I did appreciate the album in this format. Being able to listen again to this new remaster of the album is really interesting and I must admit I noticed some sonorities I did not hear before on some of the tracks. I cannot count the number of times I listened to those songs, since receiving the Reckless tape more than twenty years ago from a late friend of mine and then through various greatest hits albums of the singer. A static menu is displayed with the current song information and offers quick options to select tracks and audio formats among PCM, TrueHD and DTS Master Audio, all in lossless 24-bit/96 kHz quality. The format is pretty simple, as soon as you start the disc, music starts by default on the first song with the PCM soundtrack selected. IРІР‚в„ўll get back to the Supertramp disc in a follow up article.

Yesterday I finally received my order from Amazon of two High Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray discs, Bryan AdamsРІР‚в„ў Reckless, which was remastered for itРІР‚в„ўs 30th anniversary and my favorite album from Supertramp, Crime of the Century. I imagine that trying with jazz or classical music would have been a better approach, but IРІР‚в„ўm a classic rock fan and itРІР‚в„ўs what I wanted to try. I also understand there are huge debates about if those formats are really making an audible difference for listeners and I will not try to be the judge of this.Р”Вebate aside, IРІР‚в„ўm a fan of new technologies and when I saw that Universal had released some audio albums in high quality audio (24-bit/96 kHz sampling) in the Blu-ray format, I could not resist the urge to get some of them and try it out in the home theater. I must admit IРІР‚в„ўm new to all of this and my home theater gear is definitively not targeted toward listening to music in high definition formats. After Sony announcing a new high end Walkman at CES 2015 and Neil Young officially launching the PonoPlayer and Pono store out of its beta phase, we can say that 2015 starts strongly for High Definition audio.
