New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

The Chesky disc is a "sampler" album with some test tones on the side ...

If that's what you want, go for it.

I'm talking about a disc filled with nothing but test tones, comforming to a superset of the EIA 560 (also CES 560) standard for measuring digital players. These include tones for testing for frequency response, pitch accuracy, intermodulation distortion, dynamic range, etc.

In addition, there will be additional test tones that will allow you to determine whether your player will distort upon encountering 0dBFS+ signals. There will also be log sweeps to allow you to measure impulse response.

In other words, this disc will NOT contain music. If you do not have the knowledge/interest/equipment to measure your player or your system, then I would suggest this disc will NOT be useful to you (except perhaps for aligning speaker levels).
