It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

From one vinyl snob to another, I'm so very glad you were impressed!

I have no experience with your specific file type and resolution. I select either DSD 64 or 192/24 PCM, and have been very happy.

Of course their transfers can never be better than the commercial source they use. The DSD transfer of the Monteux Tchaikovsky 4th was merely OK. Their DSD transfer of Ansermet's Petrushka was out of this world!

What I can say is that these transfers of commercials tapes, (and sometimes records) is better than their 16 bit CD counterparts: when I purchased my Marantz "Pearl" SACD/CD player, the first thing I did was pick up some of Ansermet's classic performances on Australian "Eloquence." I was sorely disappointed. Sound was flat and thin.

HDTT is not the last word. I've downloaded some of Decca's legendary recordings, such as Britten's Peter Grimes, in higher resolution (96/24) and the results have been beyond my wildest dreams. Warmth, depth, sweetness...all retained.

I wish Sony was paying me to say this, but their HAP EZ1 is awesome. You download a piece, beam it to the player...done. No separate pieces required.
