THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON 50TH ANNIVERSARY BOX SET
One of the most iconic and influential albums ever, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon celebrates its 50th Anniversary.
The album was partly developed during live performances, and the band premiered an early version of the suite at London’s Rainbow Theatre several months before recording began. ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ is the eighth studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in March 1973. The new material was recorded in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. The iconic sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and drawn by George Hardie. ‘The D

But yes this album is absolutely amazing, what more can I say. Reviews on the internet say this particular pressing is 'flat' however I'm too much of a noob to know what that sounds like. To my ear this album sounds great. The opening bass riff of Money no longer sounds like a baby fart!
Note: This Box set weighs a TON.... The packaging is the best I have ever seen on a box set - all discs are in separate slipcases so no discs flopping around at bottom of box so no disc scratching - what a relief - I had to send back my Wish you were here Immersion for that reason (scratched discs). The "Single" records in the size of a 45 RPM but with the smaller 33 1/3 RPM spindle holes are cool. Wall Posters look authentic to originals included with original Vinyl release back in 72 (I have it somewhere) & records are heavy gauge, not warped & perfect.. And like I said - the packaging can withstand a nuclear bomb - quadruple boxed... Is it worth the $$$$ - If you are a Pink Floyd Lover and want the ATMOS Mix (the only mix that comes close is the SACD DSD 5.1 surround from 2003 - played on a REAL DSD player not a DSD to PCM decoder.)
Added on 5/11/23: I wanted to clarify my last comment comparing the 2003 SACD 5.1 DSD encoded surround mix and the new Dolby ATMOS mix. What I meant to say was the 2003 DSD 5.1 SACD surround mix was the best multi-channel Surround Mix until the new Dolby ATMOS Surround mix found on the 50th Anniversary set only - both are excellent - but the ATMOS is superior assuming you have a properly equipped true Dolby ATMOS setup - meaning a Blu-ray player and surround sound processor that support and can decode the Dolby ATMOS format along with the appropriate number of speakers correctly positioned as per the Dolby ATMOS recommendations. My system uses an Oppo UDP 203 4K BluRay, DVDV, DVDA, SACD, DSD, CD etc... player, an Emotiva RMC-1 Surround Processor supporting Dolby ATMOS, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, 5.1, 7.1 PCM & True DSD & DSD over PCM etc.. 3 high powered Subwoofers, main Def Tech (7) speakers powered by 300 Watt / channel amps & 4 10" Toshiba Ceiling speakers (front & Rear ATMOS) @ 100 Watts/channel. High Resolution Audio up 32 Bit @ 384 KBPS by comparison a standard CD is 16 Bit @ 44.1 KBPS audio resolution - Dark Side of the Moon - besides the remixed standard CD there are 5 High Definition mixes of the entire album on the 2 Blu-Ray Discs 1) Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 Mix, 24 Bit/96 KHz per channel 2) Stereo Mix DTS HD-MA 3) Surround 5.1 Mix DTS HD-MA 4) Stereo Mix 24 Bit /192 KHz uncompressed 5) Surround 5.1 Mix 24 Bit /96 KHz uncompressed.
DSD via SACD discs has been around for around 30+ years. SACDs were typically packaged as multi-layer discs with a regular CD quality copy of the album included with the High Definition DSD content so that the SACD could be played on regular CD players but when played on a SACD/DSD equipped disc player and a Receiver/Processor that could decode DSD (in either PCM format or True DSD - BEST Quality!) - you would hear the difference whether the DSD copy is in UHD Stereo Audio and/or a 5.1 UHD surround copy of the Album. Some SACDs contained all 3 formats of an Album, Standard CD, DSD UHD Stereo and DSD UHD 5.1 Surround. A fantastic format that unfortunately (like DVD-Audio) did not catch on- more popular in Japan and Europe - the special hardware / software required to read the disc (special laser required in player) and then decode the disc (Processor) - further complicated by copyright protection requirements & licensing for the software and integration - companies like Oppo just added all these formats SACD and DVD-Audio which used the entire capacity of a DVD disc most allocated for video, to expand Audio capacity to support not only bit streamed multi-channel encoded formats like Dolby Surround and DTS MA-HD but also totally uncompressed full bandwidth PCM up to 7.1 uncompressed PCM Audio (Dolby and DTS have some compression using their proprietary encoding/decoding format). SACD used the DSD encoding/decoding to get 5.1 (not sure if it goes up to 7.1) but a very pure and balanced sound with most manual adjustments locked out from user as they did not want the user to mess with their protocol by changing the levels or tone equalization on an individual channel basis, similar to Dolby Atmos - you are locked out from many individual channel fine tuning as the Dolby immersion software does that for you. I hope that streaming does not make obsolete physical media like the BluRay disc - there is no comparison IMHO between a Dolby Atmos Audio only or Audio/Video (e.g. a movie encoded with Atmos sound) on disc vs the same content via streaming.. No Matter how fast your connection is there is always lag and to prevent "complaints from users who bother to report this" the streaming service content providers add COMPRESSION to both the Soundtrack and the Video - so you are not getting the same picture and sound streaming as you do running the disc locally - especially with quality equipment using hardwires to connect the components (not wi-fi). Much better picture and sound.
