In Reply to: RE: Roger Waters� "Amused To Death" coming soon in MC! posted by bquisp on April 09, 2014 at 12:17:19

Pink Floyd producer & engineer, James Guthrie recently demonstrated his new
Roger Waters' album "Amused To Death" mastered to SACD in 5.1 Surround Sound at the Princeton University.

It was revealed that a Sadie workstation was used for the mastering process, and as some of you might know, the Sadie puts mastered source files through PCM at 96/24. SADiE at one time did have a DSD workstation but it was abandoned a few years ago. It is unknown why the producer of this SACD reissue didn't use a dsd capable mastering workstation.

As one long time dsd advocate puts it:

"......Their current approach leaves PCM fingerprints all over the output....."

Sorry to hear this news but I'm still going to purchase as ANY Floyd in high resolution surround is great to these ears, even if it's from 96/24.

Happy listening!
