RE: Firebird...

"I've always been curious as to why *classical* digital recordings failed to improve given Telarc's promising start some 30-35 years ago."

44.1 CD sampling rate is too low, and all the early 44/16 recorders did not use correct dither. Stockham used 50 kHz and correct (TPDF) dither which was a trade secret for some years. In addition I have heard it said that Soundstream converters were hand tweaked before each use.
