Picked up the NiN concert in HD-DVD when I was in Ottawa at a MusicWorld, going out of business sale. Both impressed and disappointed.....
When playing the new HD audio track, I definitely believe I am hearing some additional clarity. I've swapped back and forth between the Dolby and the HD-DVD tracks and I have swapped back and forth with the regular DVD that I still own and I even seem to be able to even pick out a few noises that are not there, or very distant, in the Dolby version.
However, It also seems like the vocals are weaker in the HD version. I know it's not a true test, but in switching back and forth, I truly find that I have trouble hearing what Trent Reznor is singing compared to the standard DVD version. This was a big disapointment as the last thing I expected was for part of the sound to degrade rather than improve.
I'd be interested if anybody else picks this up and lets me know if they feel the same way. Perhaps I'm just listening too hard.
