New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Here's a reply from Robert Von Bahr of BIS...

Robert posts regularly over on SACD net but because he's lost his password for this forum, he's asked someone to post this response for him:

"We set the top level. That top level is zero dB. The rest is done by the composition and the artists, NOT US.
Exactly what in this is difficult to understand?

If others in the same repertoire have a "higher average level", then either their artists aren't playing with the same dynamics or - more likely - the recordings are compressed. That's all there is to this "question"."
