IIRC There is now a surround-sound version of DSOTM on DVD. No idea how it
compares with the LP, and don't have a multichannel AV system so can't
check.

I believe you are thinking of the 25th anniversary edition on hybrid
SACD...which I have. From Amazon's description:
"The Super Audio CD (SACD) features two disc layers. One layer contains a
standard version of the album that works on any CD player. The other layer
includes high-resolution stereo and a 5.1 surround version of the recording
that works on SACD-compatible DVD players and home theater systems. Both
layers employ SACD's Direct Stream Digital (DSD) encoding process that
samples the music 64 times faster than CD for unprecedented fidelity."

Sadly, the only SACD machine in my collection has a faulty Sony chipset.
Someday....
