Audio Comprisons From Every DBZ Release

Post by roseofpain » Sat Aug 20, 2022 3:12 pm

From what I understand, these are the different audio sources for DBZ

- Optical Soundtrack
- TV Broadcast Audio
- Original Master Audio (but these are considered lost)

Then there are the DVD and Blu-ray releases which (besides the Dragon Box) am not sure how each one sounds. Any information on the quality, sources, and comparisons for some of the releases would be very helpful.

The worst sounding one is the D-box optical audio. Funny has attempted to fix the audio on the season set and 30A (did some kind of equalisation or something like that). There is no good JP audio on the official releases.

But you can find broadcast audio online, it's available and sync to the D-box. Over the years better and better quality of the broadcast has been released. This is available for all three series (OG DB,Z,GT) movies and TV specials.
