tempting but I don't understand the pricing

 

• I can buy the 2 discs (a hybrid SACD and a Blu-ray) that have everything except the 24/352.8 files for €24
• it costs more (€28)  to download just  the MKV Atmos and Auro  files that you get on the discs along with a lot more
• the 24/352.8 is a whopping €80

 

 

The cool thing is, you have a choice. Understand it or not, pick the one you want :~)

And it plays all 12 channels..? Have they solved the 8+ ch limitation..??

There is no such limitation now. I never knew there was one previously either. FLAC is limited to 8 channels, without special encoding like Auro, but WAV isn’t.
