Thread: HRAudio.net - need to be able to search for multichannel titles

I'm not sure if HRAudio.net is meant to replace SA-CD.net, but it really needs to have a selection for "multichannel" recordings before I'll be able to use the site.

By the way, I really want to see "multichannel" recordings for BOTH SA-CD and Blu-ray (or even DVD-Audio, which some people still think SHOULD have been better than SA-CD and still gets a few "boutique" releases).

I'd simply like to be able to select "multichannel", not "multichannel SA-CD" versus "multichannel Blu-ray".

I've always thought that the uneasy marriage between "High Res" audio and surround audio has been part of the reason that the mass market never caught on.

My stance: stereo is a 50+ year old recording format, and I something more "modern" (i.e. multichannel / surround)

I do care if the sound is lossless (or nearly so) digital, but I DON'T care if the sampling rates capture ultrasonic frequencies.

Thanks so much for having SA-CD.Net all this time - I make most of my purchases based on listings here.

But please give me "multichannel" as a choice on the new site!

This would be a handy option and it got me thinking; is it too late for Zues to start a Feature Request thread? Doing this is, imo, likely to result in broader support for the new site because we as members, will (possibly) have contributed to the new site's development and eventual design.

The problem is that Zeus is only in to Stereo .

He needs to do something, because as it stands now, this older site is more user friendly. The new site operates almost like a reference work. If you know what you want, you can find it easily enough. However, only the new reviews page is designed to stir interest and it is not provisioned with callouts from the reviews, from which you would know at a glance what to expect if you click on the recording's cover picture.

There is a multichannel search?

I only buy multichannel releases. Does the multichannel search filter not show all such titles?

You're right, that option already exists.
