I make an effort to acquire the best mastered digital mastering of any 50s/60s jazz, 60s-80s rock, some classical and other, etc. I listen to "real music" and not typical audiophile naptime stuff. If it came to my attention that a superior mastering existed only as a flac or WAV download for music I enjoy, then I'd be interested. The best mastering work as far as I'm converned can be found on CDs mastered pre-1990 (including many issued only to Japan market), audiophile label such as DCC Gold (now Audio Fidelity) and select MFSL, and select SACDs. You are welcome to provide an example where you believe a superior hi-rez download exists. Again, this truth, should that be the case, is not convenient. I'm more interested in audio quality than convenience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
