Input Soundtrack: 16-bit, 44.1khz, Stereo (bit perfect)

Please thanks and PM for access
NOTE: While exacting bit-perfect accuracy is typically preferred for LD syncs, I prefer to use speed adjustments to keep synchronization. I also insert BD audio to cover reel changes or side breaks when necessary. As well as minor filtering in the form of DC Offset correction, de-humming, and manual declicking (when necessary). 2.0 mono tracks are processed with Voxengo MSED to remove stereo information unless stated otherwise.

Do you know how this compares to the newly included 2.0 on the 30th Anniversary UHD Steelbook? A spectrogram or two would be perfect. Thanks!

Great sync Wright, would love to know the specs between the Sony UHD 2023 Stereo and the LD stereo if possible.

Here's a complete loudness matched comparison, including the filtered and unfiltered LD tracks, just for full transparency.
And here's a short comparison clip to demonstrate how bad the UHD 2.0 sounds compared to the LD. The UHD track almost sounds like an mp3.

Wow, the UHD sounds TERRIBLE. I'm sure that the early DVD releases will sound similar to the LD version, since Audio wasn't tampered with that much back in the day.

i have the original R2-DVD stereo which is very very good.
the R1-DVD from the USA (special edition) brings a 5.1 and a 2.0 tracks but they are very very bad to be kind.
That said i can share the R2 dvd stereo (raw or converted to flac, changed from -25.000 to 23.976 and synced with the JP 1080p edition, for those who want to compare against the LD

Based on that comparison I didn't think the UHD stereo was all that bad.
I was really expecting a lot worse.

Hmm at the risk of sounding ignorant, I also struggled to hear much difference in that clip. Maybe I'm just not listening for the right things or my equipment isn't top tier. I tried it on both my headphones (Sennheiser HD 650) and my home theater setup (Yamaha AVR, entry-to-mid level ELAC Debut & Unifi towers/bookshelves + an SVS sub).
@ wright96d or @ dwalkerdon : I'd be really interested to know what stood out as almost MP3 like on the UHD track. Thank you in advance for any pointers!

Would be good to compare it with the others, there's been a few instances where DVD's have sounded better than LD's despite being lossy
