I thought the standard BD included in the Shining 4k UHD combo pack is the 2007 disc? It has PCM 5.1 audio and a VC1 encode, which should indicate it being the original BD. But if Warner did indeed do a new disc with a SDR downconvert of the remaster (like with the 4k transfer of Unforgiven only available on regular BD within the UHD combo pack) it should have DTS-MA.

LD ac3 was I thought not always obtained by studios in the late 90's because they found they could skip paying for the license and thought no one would notice.
The new 1080p disc is indeed new but the conversion isn't quite right. At least it looks better than the 2007 disc. It's much better than the Batmans and Matrix 1080p downconverts.

I just can't get over how good the 4k UHD looks. It's like watching it for the first time.
