"None will contain more musical information than the original DSD 64."Sadly not. Sony never completed development and sale of a commercial mixing system for DSD.
DXD is as close as you're gonna get, at least in this case. For all intents an purposes it is the 'master' as it came off of the mixing board.
The thing is, Jared is being very honest about his process so you can choose your best strategy to get as close a possible to that original recording.
I just wish he would offer the DXD files as download options in the future.
I intend to download the Mahler 3 DXD at some point, soon as I figure out how to play it. ;-)
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
