It looks like the first 4 DS albums are to be released in the SACD format in 2017, SACD contains a surround sound layer, you can get more information by following the link below:

SACD Releases

No news as to weather Mark is involved with the mixing, but it does say they are mastered from the original master tapes. It is a numbered limited release.

Yes, if you have equipment that can decode SACD, or else it is just a CD.

Just checked, and yes they were, they list them as SHM SACD which is Super High Material, not sure what that really means though.

Apparently it's a different material than the conventional material that should make the music sound nicer. But maybe there's a newer version of the sacd first four albums. Because with te money for nothing album they did it as well. There's an 2004 sacd version. And a 2014 sacd version. The difference between the two is that the 2014 version is the original master tape version.
I'm lucky to own both.
