Re: question about the DM re-masters
i bought the reissues for Violater and MFTM and I love them both. The added DVD feature is really fun to watch and its good to have the audio in 5.1. i'd say go ahead and plop down the dough for the actual discs instead of the iTunes files.

i found both discs used for 10 bones each. not bad!

don't have a clue what the PCM Stereo is but a quick google search reveals that amongst audiophiles, PCM stereo is preferred to Dolby Digital.

What is the difference between PCM Stereo, Dolby Digital Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1?
Contrary to popular opinion, PCM stereo gives a better sounding audio format than Dolby Digital Stereo. With PCM stereo the music is scanned at a much higher frequency than the CD standard, thus theoretically sounding better than an audio CD. Dolby Digital Stereo only uses an – admittedly very good – data compression system, which means that those signals not picked up by the human ear are not used at all.
