Still think Toscanini unsurpassed. I prefer his studio recording to Carnegie Hall live recording. The dryness of the Studio really helps with detail. Very vivid recording.
Yes, many more PCM recordings available, and no complaints from me. I stumbled across NativeDSD.com which pulls most DSD recordings together.
I noticed that you have to be a smart shopper when perusing all the sites. Not all sites carry same titles, (fair enough), and not all sites offer same resolutions. Some only offer lower resolution, even when original recording higher, and some only offer PCM while others carry native DSD versions of the same titles. (Mostly the case with Pentatone and Harmonia Mundi USA.)
And of course there's the occasional upsampling issue, but with a little research, you can find the original sampling rate.
