iTrax is also a recording company http://www.aixrecords.com/ So they do thier own records, most of iTrax releases are AIX records. And thir mo IS recording new original material in 24/96 or 24/192 . They embraced DVD-A when thats was the latest thing and have afaik probably done most "real" HD Records of any label. They have excellent 5.1 24/96 DVD-A discs. Note that you can actually get 5.1 24/96 files from iTrax , but the total lack of such network players makes a very small market. Most of the big labels have mostly re released some old stuff of undetermined pedigree. But you can sell that to, there is also an audiophile myth that there is something to get from any old analog tape that's been "destroyed by CD". Most recordings ever made have such SQ that 16/44.1 is sufficient. You don't need a 5 gallon barrel to hold 1 gallon of content so use 24/192 for such things is a waste. However there are some nicely done remixes/remasters that takes the old 24 track and does a new final mix and master and also a 5.1 version. Talking Heads Brick Box is a good example, this is some kind of renovation of the music if carefully done this can be great. If done by morons the result is the usual over-compressed aggressive sound that is the latest trend. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
