![]() I played the surround disk in my listening room and the CD everywhere else. I never had a reason to listen to the Hi Res stereo tracks of these disks before I had the NAS. And they can, as long as you don't mind a fold down for the stereo. The disk packaging specifically states they can be used to play high resolution stereo and MC tracks. Some, like Gaucho and The Game, apparently, simply produce a fold down of the 5.1 layer. Not all DVDAs have a dedicated stereo track. Bohemian Rhapsody rips fine (24x96 2.0 MLP), then surprise, The Game has no dedicated stereo track at all. Perplexed, I ripped my Gaucho CD to the NAS and carried on. If I try to play them, the player cycles through them one after the other just like it would if there was actually something in the files. It created a FLAC file for each track, but each track also has zero duration and zero size. DVDAE flew through the extraction process in seconds. According to DVDAE, Gaucho contains a 24/96 LPCM stereo layer. Both had an MLP stereo layer, EMG was 24/192 I believe. So using DVDAE, I extract the stereo layers of Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go. I saw I didn't have ripped stereo versions of the three Steely Dan 5.1 studio releases, and that led to the realization that I never ripped any of the stereo DVDA tracks. ![]() But I never did rip the Stereo tracks from the DVDAs. I then took little jumps forward acquiring the capability to rip BRDs and most recently, SACDs, and for those I started ripping the stereo and MC Hi Res tracks. I wasn't sure how far the 4TB storage capacity was going to stretch. The first thing I ripped was my DVDA collection, and since I was new to the ripping life, I only ripped the surround tracks from my DVDAs. I've been ripping my audio collection to a NAS for a few years now. ![]()
