(…) The Audio: Rating the Sound

While the video presentation will leave some wanting, the audio is a punk rock gut punch of roaring guitars and thundering drums. If you thought two video options was nice, you'll love the ability to chose between three different high-definition audio tracks: Stereo PCM Stereo, 5.1 PCM, and 5.1 DTS-HD MA. After spending the first few songs toggling between all three, it was clear the discrete multi-channel tracks were for me, providing a wider soundstage and, with the crowds cheering in the rear channels, a more concert-like experience. As for what's better, 5.1 PCM or 5.1 DTS-HD MA? Up to you, really. I eventually went with DTS because I seemed to get a touch more bass out of the track; they should be identical, so any difference was probably in my head.

Overall, this is a killer music presentation. Encoded at 96kHz / 24-bits, this is actually the best quality Nirvana recording I've ever heard. Who knew grunge could go Audiophile? It's a delight, through and through. Vocals (and Krist Novoselic's corny jokes between songs) are super clear, the guitars own the mids and highs, and the bass guitar and drums hit hard and hit low. It's a little hard to compare this to a traditional surround mix; there's no really panning per se, but cheering crowds make your living room sound like you're in the middle of the venue. Do yourself a big favor, turn this one up loud and enjoy (but beware the occasional intentional and accidental feedback). (…)
