There is little better (to me) than having my room filled and surrounded with an amazing orchestral performance, especially when you have the equipment to put you in square center of the hall. With all the instruments where they should be, right, left, fore and aft. unless you play 2nd stand 1st violin the sound isn't as you described. If your system is set up correctly you'll get all that you talk about with 2 channel. To ME....quad sound is for movies only. Each to their own.

Scored the Blood Sweat & Tears from a used music store. I was able to find the Tower of Power and purchase from MusicDirect. Later I downloaded the DSD version of Blood Sweat & Tears. I had the Tower of Power CD before I acquired on vinyl. I ripped it on AIF format. One of these days I'll have to break out the vinyl. I have a feeling even with my digital upgrades my SOTA rig will trounce digital reproduction. This will probably get me hooked on brushing the records off, using the disc washer SC-2 stylus cleaner and the stylast. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have invested much in high resolution downloads and am planning to invest in more. I came across the following link that allows me to download free samples of DXD formats: This link provides access to free samples of higher PCM rates in 24 and 32 bit depths. https://www.soundliaison.com/all-categories/6-compare-formats I just verified my DAC will play all the DXD format samples in both 32 and 24 bit depths. The sample from soundliaison.com in 24BIT/352.8kHz FLAC played without issue. The 32 bit files were in WAV format. The 2L link that TomicTime referred to, was the first one I had come across to verify if my BDA-3 would play DXD formats. It fell short of offering more DXD formats to test play. Their 24BIT/352.8kHz sample wouldn't play in my new DAC. Now that my upgrades are complete (for now), I've been focusing on seeking and acquiring more high rez downloaded music. Native DSD is currently having a Jazz Genre sale. For a fee they let me download 4xDSD recordings I had previously purchased in 2xDSD. The 4xDSD versions sound better in my BDA-3. I purchased a Plus subscription. This allows me to download lower rez rates with no additional charge. This way I can download 4xDSD purchases in 2xDSD format and play these recordings in my 2nd system which can only handle 2xDSD. The subscription also provides member discounts on some recordings. The current 15% Jazz sale is on top of the member prices. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GdnrBob Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 That reminds me to re-listen to some Callas. I never understood all the madness around her, until I did listen to her recordings. Some folks got it. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law just turned me on to Aphrodite’s Child, Vangelis’s progressive rock band in the 70s. Check out tracks from the album 666. All composed by Vangelis. Costas Ferris’s voice is amazing. Great tracks: - The Four Horsemen -Babylon - The Aegian Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
