In Reply to: RE: New BIS 24/96 Download -- Gershwin/Litton/Kempf posted by srl1 on June 12, 2012 at 10:58:30
Since the original recording was done in 24/96, the SACD in theory shouldn't sound better, as the original file would had to have been converted to DSD for the SACD. (I'm talking stereo, of course--MCH is another matter.)
I saw this on eClassical yesterday (prior to getting their e-mail announcement) and was curious about it, but ultimately decided against downloading it. Your and Chris's posts have changed my mind!

I agree that they should sound the same. What I'm trying to determine is whether or not there is a difference in the delivery systems that I use. I have an Oppo BDP-95, and I can play this release as a 24/96 file either from an attached disc drive or over the Wi-Fi from my PC with the Oppo doing the D/A (and FLAC) conversion (I also can convert the files to WAV so the Oppo doesn't have to do the conversion; some folks say that sounds better). Finally, I can create a DVD-A disc using software on my PC and then play the disc on the Oppo. So far with this release I think the DVD-A sounds best.
When I get the SACD, I'll compare it with the download version (in several of its formats). No matter what, the performances and the sound on this disc are excellent and exciting.
