Just got notice after listening to the demo tracks placed my order… Now the hard part waiting for it to arrive…to savor it on my sytem… Any one else place their order yet ?

Just did the download. Fantastic recording!! The sound is as good as it comes. The DSD version is way better than the PCM. The 192k 24bit sounds like it is a recording made from the DSD, a little more washed out I’m afraid. But the DSD, all I can say is WOW!!

Did you download the work or is this from the MP3 samples? On my system the snare sounds pretty spectacular. Maybe your tweeter? I’ll take the time today or tomorrow to go to that particular spot and see. Maybe I am just missing something.

I’ve spent some time checking. It’s not my speakers (Wilson, Raidho) and I’ve checked all formats. It’s definitely the brushes mic as the rest of the percussion is really good. My favourite track, the last one, has no percussion at all, so the piano and bass come across much bette and the whole trac…
