Actually, I think Chandos is very good about NOT upsampling

If they offer a download at 24/96, that's because the master was recorded at 24/96. Some of their Vaughan Williams offerings are available at only 24/48 - again, because that's the resolution of those particular masters.

Spectrographic software will show whether a given 24/96 download actually has that resolution, or whether it's simply a lower-rez recording which has been placed in a higher-rez container. (In general, from what I've read on various posts, both here and elsewhere, this seems to be a problem in the pop/rock world more than in the classical world.)

I think the Chandos download offerings have been exemplary in this regard, i.e., their 24/96 downloads REALLY WERE/ARE recorded at 24/96.

(BTW, I share your enthusiasm for the Lott recordings of the Strauss orchestral songs.)

It is not 24/96. - Kal Rubinson 04:45:04 09/08/16 (4)

Speaking of.... Some Chandos 24/96 couldn't possibly be, but with a little effort and research - jdaniel@jps.net 07:51:18 09/08/16 (3)
