I decided today to try more files from Linn.  My rational was that if they were less lucky with Scottish Chamber Orchestra and their recording avenues them I might be luckier with Duisburg Philharmonic or I Barocchisti. So, I bought a 3 more of Linn files to see how it goes. Since, all of their so called “Studio Masters” are available in the stupid SACD then I presume the all were recorded in SACD and then just converted from SACD to 88/92 PCM. It is highly possible that the negative moments with sound that I described in my post above were the result of down-conversion. Interning that some of their files are available in 192K are the very same files are NOT available in SACD. I make a presumption that Linn recorded those files in 192K PCM and this is VERY interesting as those files are not down-conversion from   inferior SACD. I did buy today one of those files and I would like to hear of it has the problems that I described above.

It is highly possible that the Linn 192K PCM files might be closest to the original files and if so then only they might be recognized as more or less commercial “Studio Masters”. I wish to know how they were edited but it would be too much to ask…  Let see what Duisburg Philharmonic does. It is also not Linn own recording but Acousence Classics. The Acousence might not record on SACD – God bless them!  Linn own reds are available on both SACD and 192K PCM.

So, let see what Acousence Classics will be able to show on naked 192K PCM. I hope that it is my an accident, that my logic is correct and Acousence’ file was not exposed to SACD….
