Yes, that's the one. But Sony.... will be so strange buying the player in Costco and carrying it out along

With my new gun, 50 frozen boneless chicken breasts, toilet paper and brake pads.

Seriously, Sony invented DSD iirc and it looks like a pretty solid piece of gear. I like the fact that it has on board storage. I wonder how many two channel dsd files make up a terrabyte?

Would be proud to have it in my system. The top of the line Marantz is marked down to $2700 online. The Dac Chris recommended is $3500.

We'll see....

- But isn't it true that some computers sound more analog than others? - jdaniel@jps.net 23:40:21 09/02/16 (13)
  Seriously, Somy on order,should have by next Sunday. I really can't stand typing on a tablet anyway, so good riddance.
  
  Can't wait to start downloading. Was thrilled to discover that HDTT digitized Stravinsly's Columbia Firebird and Frager's Prokofiev 2nd PC.
  
  Top of my list after the 50s Juilliard Bartok cycle at Pristine.

    I notice from your listings (Stravinsky's Firebird, Frager's Prokofiev 2, and the 50's Julliard Bartok) that you plan for your initial downloads to be older recordings - perhaps some of the same performances you already had on vinyl (?). I guarantee you that they will not sound the same as on vinyl. There may be dozens of reasons for these differences, among which the digital vs. analogue incarnation is only one. You should download some newer recordings too (say, from the last decade or so) to get an idea of what your new set-up is capable of.
    - First "new" recording will be the Wilson Debussy and Brahms Sonatas for Violin and Piano - jdaniel@jps.net 15:05:11 09/03/16 (11)
      Was sampling hi res Brahms Trios and Faure Chamber music this morning. Any rise to top of your list?

        Do you like the Chandos sound? A lot of their stuff is over at The Classical Shop.
        
        The BIS stuff is on eClassical. There's a lot of good stuff at the Canadian ProStudioMasters site. If you're going for chamber music, here are some possibilities:
        
        (I've got all three, and I can vouch for them.)
        
        Finally, I haven't heard it, but I can't resist recommending it (in view of your comments about the old Ansermet recording):
        
        (available at ProStudioMasters)

        is up for streaming at 25/96 on ClassicsOnlineHD. Plan to listen to it later in the day.
        
        Having no trouble with that service now that I have a decent, very fast web connection.

        Faure, Debussy, Ravel - excellent performances and good capture of the "space":
        
        It's being offered at a special price right now on eClassical - just over $9. I never know how long these special offers will last though.
        
        Nice. Debussy's Beau Soir puts me in a trance every time I hear it. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 20:08:37 09/08/16 (1)
