I have run across a selection of DVD-A compatible discs from Classic which have been taken directly from the master tape, converted from analog to digital and remastered at 24/192. They are coded HDAD by Classic and the sonics are quite good.
Are there other labels that similarly produce 24/192 DVD-A compatible disc? And if so, can you recommend specific titles where the sonics are particularly outstanding?
Thanks.
Pete
Follow Ups:
Linda Ronstadt's "What's New" with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra is 24/192 in stereo, and is impressive.
Also, Sinatra at the Sands is in 24/192.
There are quite a few on the WMG label.
It's really only Classic Records that supported the 24/192kHz DVD-audio disc. Unfortunately they are no longer releasing any new titles. Most, if not all, of their releases were from analogue masters. A very few recordings were done by other companies and released with 192kHz tracks. These quickly went out of print.
A few companies, such as Tacet Records and Aix Records, release 96kHz DVD-Audio discs. Others do hi-rez PCM recording, but release them as SACDs or hi-rez downloads. Not a lot of choices on discs.
Botanico92007,
That is just not true! There are several 24/192 DVD-A's out there, aside from the Classic HDAD's produced. Some that come to mind in my collection (which is by no means a comprehensive set) are
David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name
Steely Dan - Everything Must Go
Neil Young - Harvest
REM - Document
Jackson Browne - Running On Empty
Art Pepper - Meets the Rhythm Section
to name a few.
well made 24/192 DVD-A's are superior. Here are a few more that I have recently purchased:
Ray Brown Soular Energy Hi-Res HDCD
LA4 Just Friends Hi-Res HDCD
Cannonball Adderley Somethin' Else Classic HDAD
Sargent Moussorgsky Pictures Classic HDAD
of an Exhibition
Muddy Rivers Folk Singer
Anyone have any more recommendations?
Thanks.
Pete
My recommendations:Classic HDAD 2016 Khachaturian, Gayne Ballet Suite
Classic HDAD 2033 Villa Lobos, Ginastera
Classic HDAD 2025 Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 5
Classic HDAD 2018 Shostakovich, Sym. No. 9 & Prokofiev, Lt. Kije
Classic HDAD 2015 Respighi, The Pines of Rome & The Fountains of RomeThe above are the best of the Everest reissues. I have them all. The Villa Lobos "The Little Train of the Caipira" on 2033 is a must to listen to.
Classic HDAD 2002 Songs of the Auvergne
This is the famous Vanguard recording and sounds superb. The Everest reissues also sound great. However, there are a few pitch sags on the Everest recordings. Search for "Everest" on this forum and you will find my comments and responses of others on this problem and on the sound and performance quality. In most cases pitch deviations are of very short duration (a second or two, sometimes almost not noticeable.
I pre-ordered the 24/192kHz Krips recordings of the Beethoven Symphonies. Classic Records cancelled the release. I believe the HDAD reissues will be going out of print. It's smart to buy them now.

How many of the titles tahat you listed are still in print? I quickly checked the Art Pepper title and didn't find it available.
I understood the original question applied to discs currently available. Can you suggest any sources where your titles can be bought? I have about 20 titles in 24/192kHz, mostly Classic Records issues. That's a very small number in my collection. I would love to find more. As stock runs out, the Classic Records issues will be unavailable.
Classic Records is out of business. Their remaining stock was purchased by Acoustic Sounds. A few other retailers, like Music Direct, have the odd piece left; otherwise, it's the secondary market.
Check out HDTracks.com. You can download whole albums (or just selected tracks, but that seems strange) without having to wait for physical media (which you are just going to rip anyways). They have a 96/24 shop with a lot of titles at DVD-Audio resolution, including a large number at 192/24.
So far, it's just stereo, but hopefully they'll get some multi-channel goodnes as well.
