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 L...

Romy,
from my understanding, this disc called HDAD, contains on one side a DVD-Video resolution, 96/24 and on the other side a DVD-A i.e 192/24 resolution. So the disc on one side can be played in your regular DVD pla...

I have no clear understanding either, but I always thought that .wav was a wrapper to the PCM file. That a raw .wav that you speak about then is a PCM file with a header?
Also from my understanding the DVD-A sometimes have a "lossless"(whateve...

What I find interesting about this Lampizator is that he
does not take sides over DSD vs PCM debate. Some folks do not touch the DSD and
stay strictly in PCM word. Some go all the way along with DSD, x- DSD or whatever
was sold for them annually. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I pulled today from my shelf my collection of earliest Denon PCM recordings on LP the Denon record in end of the 78s. I generally do not like this entire series but the first releases where OK, not as good as then might be...

Hi,
Does anyone know if the PCM 44.1Khz layer in the Living Stereo SACD discs was down-converted from higher rates?
These discs are currently selling for lower prices (amazonUK) than the CD versions and I am tempted to get myself a couple of reco...

[quote user="Andy Simpson"]What was the RMS loudness of the music itself?Andy[/quote]The RMS A-weighted is around -38dB (see attached).I just don't understand why they use the 1bit DSD system or indeed why anyone else does either... Perhaps they...

I do not regularly buy High Resolution files and most of my High Resolution files are my own FM recordings or something that was given to me by other people. I bought no more two dozens of Hi-Res files in past and it was about it. I do not active...

Recently an audio guy visited me. I played to him some music as, as I uselessly do - from all possible sources and we ended up to have a conservation which sources is able to produce more interesting result. The people who hear my playback know t...

There is a good article in Positive Feedback by David Robinson about Downloadable DSD.
http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue60/dsd.htm
I know very little about DSD and absolutely nothing about the downloadable DSD. However if they...

Paul McGowan, the head of PS Audio send his newsletter with his comments about SACD. The comments are childish and in many way absolutely ignorant. I hate what the industry professionals twist the facts and go into pure falsification in order to ...

Sure I am!!!! Just tell me where to get those free transfers hahahaha ;-) Unfortunately I don't have interesting dubs from my local broadcasts as yet to share, but hopefully there will be some soon. Maybe in a couple of months, but don't expect great...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]All that I am looking to play the DSD layer of the SACD disks as the idiots mostly vandalize the CD layers of the SACD disks. I clearly understand that the DSD layer of the SACD disks is the same PCM stream that was multipl...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I might be not “getting” what you are doing but it looks to
me that it is not near close to “CEC TL0X vs Berkeley Alpha”. The Berkeley
Alpha is just an interface to get stream of DAW but CEC TL0X is digital transport. We...

[quote user="Mark Donahue"]Mani, Yes, the files were created using the HDCD Model 1 AD converter and you will actually get improved audio if your DA converter properly decodes the HDCD (Even at 88.2 kHz /24 bit!) There is information about the filter...

My contra-SACD position is well known but unfortunately as I predicted mode and more SACD recording are being realized and they have already vandalized by SACD format. It look like no one record nowadays on PCM if companies even want to release 2...

... am intrigued with DSD DACs. And for three main reasons:1) If you look at the attached jpeg (taken from http://www.korg.com/services/products/mr/Future_Proof_Recording_Explaine...), DSD recording appears to have a simpler path than most modern PCM...

I do not have any special animosity against DSD beside that fact that it is a fundamentally compromised format to be “final” format. My presumption that I might comply one day with a need to buy a SACD player comes from the fact that the industry in...

I"m not an expert on SACD either but my recollection from the late 90s is that Sony went to 1 bit out of a desire for copy protection of the digital encoding. One bit is not editable in DSD and would have to be processed in PCM or analogue. D...

That is so much pisses me. A few days back I posited this like and was laughing that this guy record in DSD (which is in fact not DSD but SACD, I do not think he has access to DSD) in order to sell his recording in PCM 2X and 4X? Why do those people ...

I think 11 years after High-Resolution formats hit wide public it is possible to make some generalizations. I can not comment on SACD. I do not use it and consider it being an fraudulent crap. I do not do DVD-A as I do not like it and consider it ga...

Among many idiotic audio publications the Positive-Feedback strikes me as less idiotic – once in 2-3 issues they do have a good article. I still find it idiotic, as any product -centric audio publication might be but the people who run the game i...

Romy Your file was burned in wave format you provided as-is. It was never processed by the Korg. I conducted my test to evaluate the sound of 176/24 files on my system. These files came from you, Reference Recording and my Korg and all can coexist un...
