NIN: the downward spriral enhanced dualdisk?

[euclid]

well my downweard spriral cd officially died a few weeks ago and im really in need of another copy, should i check out the dual disk version or stick to the original cd from 1994?

i dont have sacd player im wondering if there is any difference in mastering quailty of the redbook? thanks

 

[virometal]

I have both and would get the SACD special edition. It includes a bonus disc with hard to find tracks and the redbook layer is remasterd as well. Sounds great.

I remember hearing that the stereo mix is the same as the original master.

 

[virometal]

Actually you may be right. Now that I think about. All I have listened to is the SACD.

Scratch my comments about the remaster 'cause I am not sure. The bonus disc is still awesome though. You get Dead Souls, Memorabilia, and burn plus a couple of the GOOD remixes.

The dual disc gives you videos, so I guess it is whatever your preferance is.

i didnt realize there were extra tracks and videos on the dualdisk, i thought it was only an sacd version in addition to the standard stereo. ill pick up the new version, thanks for the comments

 

[virometal]

The dual disc does NOT have any extra tracks; just the videos and info stuff.

The deluxe edition has the bonus disc with extra tracks.

Ah hell, just go to Amazon or something. It should be in black and white for you there!

Oh one more thing, the packaging of the Deluxe Edition is awesome; if you dig the art of TDS, that is the way to go. The Dual Disc is well dual disc, nothing special.

 

[euclid]

ahh thats my confusion, i didnt realize there are 3 versions. deluxe it will be then

 

[ILUVIPODS]

yea, go for the delux

 

[xixco]

remastered version isn't exactly the same as the original CD

they've lowered some of the midrange

not sure why

still sounds good though, just not exactly the same

The Dualdisc has 24-bit 48khz versions of the song on the dvd-a side, stereo and 5.1 surround. You can rip these tracks via Windvd and certain tools found around the net.
