Can you tell me SPECIFICALLY how these Bluray Audio releases differ from the versions long available on DVD-A or the 24/96 & 24/192 versions from HD_Tracks et al?? What would a User gain from re-buying these releases of long available material??
Well, for starters, they're on a disc. Some of us still like to be able to hold music in our hands.
Also, some of the recent Blu-Ray audio and DVD-A releases contain 5.1 surround mixes that, as far as I know, aren't available via download. Steve Wilson has been busy creating 5.1 surround mixes of classic albums by Jethro Tull, Yes, King Crimson, and most recently XTC which have been reissued on either Blu-Ray or DVD-A (or, in some cases, both).
