New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Question, Russell.

I listened to this disc for the first time last night. I was disappointed with the Saint-Saens symphony, but my question involves the recording.

Would you please tell me the basis for your earlier statement that this is a DSD recording? When I first listen to a new recording (especially orchestral) that is not clearly labeled DSD or PCM, I usually have an almost immediate, intuitive reaction whether the recording is DSD or not. I must admit that this Philadephia disc was a tougher call than usual, particularly because the string tone was quite good. In any event, my ears ultimately decided that this was a PCM recording; thus, I am curious to confirm whether my ears were right or wrong.

I also listened to the new Telarc/Russian Nights SACD last night. Excellent performances and top-notch sound. This is what a DSD recording should sound like.
