In Reply to: the problem is that the "simpler recording chain" is more marketing hype than reality ... posted by Christine Tham on August 27, 2004 at 15:21:49:
>> having said that though, i do agree that the "pure-DSD" recordings can sound breathtakingly good! there is something about the clarity of a pure DSD recording that PCM somehow doesn't quite capture :-(
<<Hi Christine, you should hook-up a medium-to-high-end DVD-A player (e.g. at LEAST the -5900, but maybe a Linn or Esoteric or Meridian etc.) and then compare the sound with your better-than-average SACD machine.
And then to hear "clarity" you should properly audition the following "pure PCM" titles (all stunning 96/24 5.1 original recordings) which I understand you may have in your collection:-
Bach, St. Matthaus Passion (Teldec);
Shostakovich, Symph 5&6 (Arts) -- esp the very last track: "Presto";
Vivaldi, L'Estro Armonico (Arts);
Handel, Messiah (Arts);
Chopin, Four-Ballades (AIX);
Latin Jazz Trio (AIX);
Marcello, Handel & Vivaldi (AIX).Cheers
