Has anyone heard of these?
Does anyone know where I can buy these?
What players will support this?

They support insane resolutions like 512 kHz 64-bits!!!

Could be legit. Doesn't someone need five posts are something to put up a real link? The OP only had one.

Speaking of which, welcome to the forum, ndnrbq! Hopefully you're not a spammer.

I forgot about that.

I didn't mean to jump all down OP's case.

Sorry ndnrbq, hopefully it will not be spam.

ULTRA HIGH RESOLUTION
AUDIO IS FINALLY HERE!

Thanks to the advent of the new Blu-Ray format,
audiophiles everywhere are rejoicing and finally embracing
digital audio for the first time in 'recorded' history!

Files so large (approx. 50 GB) that no one would bother to illegally download and share them, let alone waste that much space on their hard drives, is the main reason why all five major record labels have agreed to re-release every single title in this exciting new format in the upcoming year!

Stereo and surround formats are both supported.
The stereo format supports an astonishingly unbelievable
512 kHz Sample Rate and 64-bit Resolution.
The surround format supports up to 9.2 Channels
384 kHz and 32-bit Resolution.
(3 channels for the front, 3 for the back, 2 for the sides, 1 or 2 for the ceiling -- to give height, and 1 or 2 for the stereo subwoofers.)

The stereo format supports up to 96 minutes on a single disc.
(approx. 150 minutes or more using lossless compression)

The surround format supports up to 48 minutes on a single disc.
(approx. 75 minutes or more using lossless compression)

No disrespect to the OP, but I am not going to download this sample. It seems to suspect and could be potentially dangerous malware I don't want on my computer. This is all very loosely placed and not openly available to all to see. For all we know you would be a disgruntled banned poster or some such thing. Again, no offense, but I ain't saving to my computer.

Also, as internet speeds get faster and storage size increases you can expect that these will be pirated. And the chances are that they will not use anywhere near to the full capacity of a 50 gigabyte Blu-ray just for one title, very unlikely. DVD-audio doesn't even need to use two layers on a 4.7 gig disc and it sounds excellent.

There is already one hi def audio release on HD-DVD.

Audio only?

How is the disc space utilized, and what are the specs if you know anything about it.

384/32? 512/64?

If I'm not mistaken, that is well beyond the capability of available equipment.

Thanks for posting the link Seth!

Yes, I wanted to tempt fellow members into getting a possible virus. I don't want to voluntarily download something into my computer from something as informal as this. Serriously, a blog about a new format no one has heard of.....I will pass on the grass.

All the info I saw on it from High Def Digest:

In what is being billed as the world's first "3-Dimensional Sound Reality" high-def music experience, Surround Records will debut the audio-only HD DVD release 'Uncommon Bach' on June 15.

Created by producer Alexander Goldberg Jero, 'Uncommon Bach' presents the music of the legendary composer using "virtual instruments and modern synthesis," in a newly-remixed version that Surround Records is dubbing "3-Dimensional Sound Reality."

According to the company's press materials, the process promises a "clarity and sonic perception of these classical works [that] will open a new vision of the original masterpieces."

'Uncommon Bach' is notable as being the first audio-only high-def release to hit the U.S. Though multichannel audio releases (sans any significant video material) are fairly common on standard-def DVD, they have not yet made any inroads on the HD DVD or Blu-ray formats.

Surround Records has set a June 15 release date for the 57-minute 'Uncommon Bach.'

Tech specs include DTS-HD Master Lossless Audio and standard DTS 5.1 surround options. (Note also that 'Uncommon Bach' is compatible only with HD DVD players with HDMI or optical outputs.)

Yeah, I was just thinking what we needed were audio files that far exceeded the quality of the original masters. I mean, we have so much bandwidth and space anyway, why not throw some away for absolutely no gain or reason?

I laughed aloud at this post. And I understand what you mean, why would ever need to use a 50 GB disc for one title? Maybe an entire catalog from Queen or something, but not for one album.
