New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

You may have put your finger on it re Pentatone sound.

It could well be that my less-than-stellar sound experience is entirely or largely confined to the RQR reissues. I'll have to go back and check. The Bach Sonatas with Fischer is DSD. I thought the sound on that was quite good, and I did compare the CD layer, which wasn't as good. I have heard more compelling or engaging sounding violins on other records than this, though.

I mentioned the Rossini Overtures because it received very high praise for its sound in reviews. I found the MCH version had the poorest sound, the two channel better, and the RBCD the best sound on that disc. In fact, I thought the MCH sound put it among the poorer SACD recordings that I have. I was quite disappointed. I bought it at the same time I bought the Fischer Dvorak 9th, and the contrast in sound quality was striking.
