Naim made a dvd player? … I didn’t know that!
They should really make an av processor again, think of all the extra 250s they could sell 
Did you enjoy the rest of the tracks?
I believe it had the innovative name “DVD 5”. They also made two “surround” processors, AV 1 and AV2. All in the “black” boxes.
I don’t think any of them lasted very long! Richard D would know more.
But back to DVD of DG at the RAH; I have played it thought our Meridian DSP5000 series 5.1 surround system, and it is rather nice!
(L&S on back burner for today - sorting out stuff for Sue’s upcoming travels!)

I didn’t mean ripping the audio using an extractor, hadn’t thought of that. I was thinking that some DVDs contain completely separate audio tracks 24/96 or DSD etc. that can be downloaded to a pc and then moved to USB stick. This is why they are there and are advertised as such.
Yes, I used to have a DVD5. Great DVD player and CD player too. All pre HDMI and Blu-ray. Came out about 2005 I think.

Thanks, yes Richard told me about the AV2 a while ago, and the single channel amp (I forget the name), they had quite the range of gear back then!
I googled the dvd player and see there have been discussions on here, seems like it was quite a nice player.
I like watching concerts through my AV system and they do sound great but sometimes I just want “no screen” time. I’m saving the Blu-ray of L&S for the weekend, don’t want to over play it!
Ah, good point, I’ll have a look on the computer tomorrow, doesn’t say anything about it on the box but you never know, cheers
There was a three channel pwr amp called NAPV 175.

The vinyl sounds stunning, as they say “price is soon forgotten if quality remains”
Great stuff

It only came out on DVD and Blu-Ray. There was no audio only option. There is a 10 inch and CD single of Bowie’s turn on Arnold Layne though, lots of copies on Discogs last time I looked.

Anyway, back to Luck and Strange, I’m really enjoying it: some stunning tracks and the recording quality is really top notch. I’ve been streaming from Qobuz, but might grab the hi-res WAV file, or maybe vinyl……

Vinyl highly recommended

There’s some d@mn fine stuff on the album; love the rendering of “Between Two Points".
OK, so the voice may be a bit a ragged these days, but he still knows his way round a Stratocaster!

Listened to it a couple of times on Qobuz. High production quality otherwise thoroughly tedious noodling and some 2nd rate lyrics…… will give this one a miss.

But we all knew that Roger was the better lyricist.
However, not so good with a Strat!

Thanks, it’s a shame but the two tracks that Bowie performs on are on Qobuz at least.

It’s a great concert, there’s some good extras too, especially with Richard Wright singing a couple of songs

Just listened to the whole album (pretty much at concert level) all the way through. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The two standout tracks for me were Between Two Points and Scattered. I like the way Scattered kind of closes the loop with Time and reminded me of the journey I’ve been on with these guys. From my very formative years as a 17 year old partying in London listening to Meddle at 3am, through to the my latter years and greater wisdom. It’s been a real pleasure to use their albums to time travel to various decades of my life and for giving me this ability I truly thank them.

Thanks for that. I’ve ordered the Bluray, which is being sent out from the UK.
