    Starting on track 5 of the DVD mine skips horribly in 5.1 in both DTS and Dolby Digital. Visually the disc is Mint. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

      On the 5.1 version, the high-pitched "fame" (after the descending "fame, fame, fame, fame" section) is missing. Seems like someone mixed it out when doing the 5.1 mix, because it's there on the stereo version. Weird.

        One of the best sounding CDs I own (out of hundreds). It actually has a soundstage to it, with great separation, fantastic lows and highs. I can close my eyes and easily confuse this CD with a first rate vinyl or DSD recording.
