Interesting. You can download it in varying resolutions from the Linn site. I was at the original live performance in Glasgow - just before the recording was made in Dundee. A truly great experience. Why anyone would want any less than the maximum possible resolution from such a recording is beyond me, and so is why any credence is given to some clown with a compression algorithm claiming he can decide what bits of Mozart can be "thrown away". -- JezA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JezA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21219 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60041 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
