Worth it
I enjoy this disc so much it never gets put away. I listen to it several times a week. The music is good and the Auro 3D is a stand out. I highly recommended it...

Decent album, better with surround mix
Got into SACD and Blu-ray Audio in early 2022. There's not much for trance/dance music. I'm not a big fan of this Tiesto album, but I've warmed up to it more since listening to it a few times on my 7.1/5.1 surround system. Dance 4 Life is probably my favorite track.

Awesome Auro-3D recording
Awesome in Auro-3D format playing on Sony UBP-X800 4K player, Denon AVR-X6400H and Definitive Technologies speakers in 10.1 configuration. wish there were more content in Auro-3D format.

The audio quality is fantastic, the opening track is great
The audio quality is fantastic, the opening track is great, but most of the tracks aren't as good as Tiesto can be. I'd like to hear more club music in surround. The BT Blu-ray is similar but superior. Keep trying, guys!

Top Klangkulisse !!
Klingt sehr fein! Alle Lautsprecher dürfen mit machen, einzelne Töne bewegen sich zwischen den Lautsprechern, ebenso die Lautsprecher hinten.

Excelente introducción a la música dance en sonido envolvente / Amazing intro to surround dance music
Como fan de la música electrónica / dance y amante de las últimas tecnologías: considero que a la fecha, este es un gran comienzo de lo que espero sea una época interesante de música electrónica remasterizada y remezclada en sonido envolvente.En cuanto al disco, puedo decir que las pistas estelares cuentan con una sobresaliente remezcla que eleva los tracks a una nueva dimensión de audio. No tengo la oportunidad de usar Auro 9.1 pero con DTS 5.1, uno puede sentir la atmósfera que se intenta recrear con la remezcla. Con los tracks que no llegaron a sencillo, yo sentí que se tomaron aun mas libertad de probar la mezcla tridimensional Auro pues se siente cierta expansión extra que los tracks estelares no tienen.En general, un excelente disco que debe tomarse como lo que es: el primer disco de música electrónica con remezcla envolvente de un gran DJ y productor con el que comparto la opinión de otro usuario de Amazon US que hace un mejor trabajo mezclando que escribiendo.Se que podrá haber mejores cosas del genero en este formato pero para iniciar: recomiendo bastante este disco si cuentas con un teatro en casa adecuado y te gusta la música electrónica y/o Tiesto en lo que se lanzan títulos como RAM de Daft Punk, Airdrawndagger de Sasha y Bunkka de Paul Oakenfold por mencionar algunos (Se vale soñar ¿No?).De ser necesario, actualizaré la reseña tras escuchar el track 2.0 LPCMEnglishAs a dance / electronic music enthusiast and tech lover, i think (until now, at least) this is a great start for a great upcoming remaster and remixing era in surround dance music (I hope).As for the Blu ray itself, i can safely say that stellar tracks have amazing surround upmix taking them to the next dimension in audio. I didn't have the chance to hear the Auro 9.1 track but DTS 5.1 is enough to feel the atmosphere they wanted to create with the upmixing. As for the not that stellar tracks, it seems that they didn't go for the safe bet and took a more aggressive approach on the Auro 3D mix as you can feel an audio expansion that is not present on the main tracks.In general, this is an excellent audio blu ray that has to be taken as is: the first surround electronic music blu ray available today from one of the greatest DJ's and producer of all time but i must say: i share the opinion that Tiesto is better mixing, not writing.You may think there are better genre material for this format but for a start: this is good Blu ray if you have good equipment to play it and if you like electronic music or Tiesto. Let's wait for RAM from Daft Punk, Sasha's Airdrandagger or Oakenfofld's Bunkka to make the jump to this ship (You don't lose anything on wishful thinking)I may update the review if i find it necessary, after i listen to the 2.0 LPCM track.

This disk had been previously released. So, the ...
This disk had been previously released. So, the interest for this disk lies elsewwhere. This disk is exceptional in its engineering audio processing. Use the AURO 3d version and prepare to be blown away. You will hear Tiesto, and hence electronic music, as you have never listened to.Truly exceptional.From a sacd regular buyer, this says it all.
