Do NOT play the DTS-WAV as standard stereo – it will sound like loud pink noise, potentially damaging speakers/ears.

A DTS-CD is a standard audio CD that contains DTS (Digital Theater Systems) 5.1 audio instead of normal stereo PCM. When played on a regular CD player, it sounds like loud white noise. When decoded by a DTS-capable receiver/player, you get true 5.1 surround.

This DTS-CD was never an official retail CD — it’s likely a fan-made conversion from the official DVD-Video (DTS 5.1 track) or a rare promo. Quality can vary. The official 5.1 mix is available on the Oxygène 30th Anniversary DVD/Blu-ray.

If you want the genuine surround experience without hassle, buy the Oxygène 3D Blu-ray or the DVD-Video from 2007. Do NOT play the DTS-WAV as standard stereo

Jarre personally supervised a series of remasters in 2007 for his early albums (Oxygène, Équinoxe, Les Chants Magnétiques). For Oxygène:

The "New Master Recording" of "Oxygène" released in 2007 signifies the ongoing relevance and appeal of Jarre's work. With advancements in music technology and digital recording techniques, re-mastering classic albums allows for a refreshed listening experience while preserving the original artistic intent. A DTS-CD is a standard audio CD that

The 2007 re-release in DTS (DTS Surround Audio) format offers "Oxygène" in a new light, providing a more immersive listening experience with enhanced audio fidelity. DTS, known for its high-quality audio, allows listeners to appreciate the nuances of Jarre's compositions with greater clarity and depth. This re-mastering effort underscores the timelessness of "Oxygène" and its adaptability to modern audio formats.

| Release | Mix type | Surround? | Notable quality | |-----------------------------|-------------------|-----------|-------------------------------------| | Original 1976 LP/CD | Stereo (original) | No | Raw, dynamic, slight tape hiss | | 1997 remaster (Disques Dreyfus) | Stereo | No | Cleaner, less noise | | 2007 New Master Recording | Stereo + 5.1 | Yes | Remixed, controversial to purists | | Oxygène 3D (2016) | Stereo / Binaural | No | New recording, not a remaster |

The 2007 DTS-CD is prized by fans of discrete surround but criticized by purists who prefer the original stereo mix’s coherence. This DTS-CD was never an official retail CD

Jean-Michel Jarre completely remastered Oxygène for its 30th anniversary. Compared to the original 1976 or 1997 remasters:

This DTS-CD version is not the same as the stereo CD or the DVD-Video 5.1 (which is 48kHz/16-bit). DTS-CD is 44.1kHz — CD-compatible.

Important: A true DTS-CD is a Red Book-compatible audio CD (44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo PCM) but the audio payload is a DTS bitstream, not standard PCM. When played in a regular CD player, it sounds like white noise. When played through a DTS-capable decoder (e.g., AV receiver with S/PDIF input), it decodes to 5.1 surround.
