RE: Recent BIS SACDs (and one more non-BIS)

Posted by ted_b on March 14, 2012 at 12:48:25:
Dr brahms, thanks for that.

Question: Is your Sibelius review on sonics based on 2 channel or 5.0? The reason I ask is that Robert's eclassical download service allows one to download only the 5th (since you poo-poo the 2nd) and in the original (read; not DSD-converted) 24/96, all for $7.52! However, it is of course only the 2 channel version.

I love SACD and DSD as much as anyone (own two DSD-capable DACs), but since BIS's majority of SACD recordings are PCM-based (includng this one), thought I'd ask. I can fully understand, however, if the beauty, etc comes from the multichannel..in which case I spring for the SACD currently. Thanks.....
