[apologies for late reply] I've whimpered about this before, but I still hold out hope of a resource, listing recordings available in hi-res, with notes on the various versions, and how they relate to original mastering, etc. e.g. just as you say, "this recording was originally recorded in DSD, and thus this SACD version is the best available", or "these 24/96 files are in fact upsampled from some old vinyl that the engineer found in his lavatory", etc, etc. I would love to see that, rather than have to fight with the loonies in various HD forums; after getting used to the sense talked here, I can't bear it... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cdmackay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98482 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
