:focus: The original reason why I posted this was that using such a system I am finding myself with access to a whole new range of interesting material :
The last set of Genesis remasters contained 5.1 mixes of the albums which reveal quite a few interesting twists and turns
So do Mike Oldfield's remasters.
There are some excellent music DVD s/Blu Rays with a new insight into concerts and live work.
Most interestingly of all I have been looking at the quadraphonic projects of the 70s where special mixes were prepared of major albums..........
Now it seems that Dolby Digital II and several other decoders are capable of retrieving spacial information from some of the old quadraphonic material ( SQ...QS and CD4)
It is also documented on the internet that quite a few CD transfers were made from quadraphonic master tapes and hat the 4 channel information survives the transfer! ( it is mainly the ones that used phase technology !)
These can be reproduced to varying degrees of success by DD II .........................It even works if you transfer a vinyl copy to CD such as Mike Oldfield's Boxed which are SQ encoded.
THus I find that I am able to get some great insights into some of the material in colection.
So you can get a 5.1 version by playing the CD copied from the record back with DD II..................

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
