I believe I have all the new Chesky SACDs. Top quality performances by top calibre players. Very nice microphone technique as always.These high-rez PCM transfers to SACD don't quite have the seamlessness and fluidity of pure DSD recordings. There remains a fine grittiness that belies the PCM origin, resulting in less three-dimensionality than good DSD recordings.
Not all Chesky SACDs are like this. I believe some older recordings, like the stunning Paquito D Riviera Portraits of Cuba, are transferred from original analog tapes, so these sound very smooth.
I'm not complaining though. The high rez PCM does yield superior definition and clarity and the dynamics, timbral colour and space are much better than CD.
Still I can't help imagining if they were recorded in DSD . . .
