In Reply to: RE: DSD not for ME...who else is less than impressed? posted by Iczerman on November 02, 2016 at 11:47:40
Going from a pcm recording to DSD doesn't distract at all, but I find myself just ever so slighlty aware of coarseness when coming back to PCM from DSD, but it's so negligible that I'm desensitized within a few minutes.
Solo and chamber works in 24 bit are fine; full orchestra recordings are more variable. Imho Bissie got a better string sound with 44hz with the Netherland's orchestra than the Bergen in 96. Different halls, string sections of course. But whe in comes to orchestral sound being "all of a piece," DSD has pleases me more often thus far. Pentatone and Channel are jewels in the crown. I'll be listening to my first LSO Live recorded at the Barbican in DSD in minutes: Davis' Sibelius 2nd.
I even have a few "double DSD" recordings of reel to reel tapes from HDTT, but no wow factor.
Follow Ups:
Many of the SACD recordings from the Barbican have poor audio--acoustically dry and a flat soundstage. But there are some exceptions, my favorite being the Haitink/LSO recordings of the Beethoven symphonies.
I have the Beethoven/Haitink Barbican collection whilst OK nothing special, will have another listen now that I can get DSD all the way to final stage,however Haitink is not as good as Kleiber.
Carlos? There are recordings of him conducting only four Beethoven symphonies (4, 5, 6, 7). I like those recordings. The sound quality isn't as good as the Haitink LSO set.
just played Carlos Kleibers Beethoven 7th digitally remastered SACD Orfeo and prefer it to Haitinks 7th sound, better performance, not easy to adjust for volume. Barbican has a more closed in sound
I don't know that recording of Kleiber's Beethoven 7, only the DG CD with Vienna and the DVD with Amsterdam Concertgebouw. They are thrilling performances with adequate, not great sound.
On the Haitink Beethoven set, the sound (to me) isn't closed in, but it's a little less reverb-y than any of the Kleiber recordings I've heard. Yet to my taste, it isn't dry but just right for the Haitink set.
I don't want to have an argument; it's a matter of personal taste.
You should listen to the Orfeo SACD remastered recording of Kleibers Beethoven 7th then I expect you may change your opinion.

Thank you for pointing me in that direction. If I run across it in my local library, I'll check it out. I'd rather spend $40 on some other music right now.
$12 from Zoverstocks
zoverstocks.com: The domain is listed as for sale.In any case, I am not shopping for any new Beethoven symphony recordings. Let's move on.

Do you use or turn off the remastering Engine?
I always use it and like the DSD 128 playback best, whether from PCM or DSD sources.
I do turn off the remastering engine, honestly could t hear a difference. I'm assuming less work for processor if off?
Also have fluid in one ear driving me crazy. Doc prescribed decongestants for occular allergies but no better.
