New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Re: Could you please expand on the Pyramix comment?

In addition to the above-mentioned 352k8 editing, Pyramix also has a mode where it only processes the audio *for the duration of the edit*. Otherwise, the audio in the final output file is identical to the source audio, except for the edits themselves.

So, not all Pyramix-created SACDs have been converted to 8fs PCM. Plus, there's yet another method of working with DSD and that's to record to DSD; convert to analogue for mixing and then record that mix back to DSD. That final DSD mix receives a lot/a little/no editing on it's way to becoming an SACD. This method is more popular than you might think.

I had a Sonoma and a Pyramix side-by-side for about 18 months - they're more similar than different...in the 'purist' mode on each, there was no telling them apart.

Best,

Graemme
