I bought an inexpensive surround sound speaker set and sound card for my PC. Surround sound, even Dolby 5.1, is awesome. Watching some movies, like Flyboys, a second time was an entirely different experience with 5.1.
I’d like to experience my music in surround sound as well. I listen mostly to the “classical” genre, like Bach, Mozart, and Dvorák, as well as liturgical chant and church choir.
It would be nice if studios would record and encode 5.1 tracks along with the stereo. I know that it would take more space, but I’d be willing to pay more, even for less tracks.
I’ve heard the name HDCD thrown around, but I’ve never been able to find vendors on the internet.
