Music streaming services have replaced CDs and music downloads, but they haven’t offered the option of listening in surround sound until recently.
Many classic albums were remixed in 5.1 surround sound during the late 1990s and early to mid 2000s on niche formats like DVD-A (audio) and SACD (super audio CD). These formats never reached mainstream success, which means tracking down the physical discs can be time consuming and expensive.
