Where do you buy this

[image] pmotz: You’ve not heard of NativeDSD out of Amsterdam? I’m shocked! Here’s what they have “Offering 1,825 albums with 24,408 tracks from 73 labels in Direct Stream Digital (DSD)”. Not heard of them as my interest in DSD was a week or two and I bought from highresaudio.com This is fro…

A grand piano has a bend in the middle of one side. The recording sounds as if you are standing in this bend. It is not a perspective one normally hears.

Not always a particularly pleasant perspective either, though this may be a matter of taste…

Thanks Elk…now when my album arrives I will better be able comprehend the acoustical image as the music plays… I saw the pics of the how the piano was miked and imagined that was what you were trying to convey earlier… So now it is the waiting game for album to arrive… Thanks again Elk

It will be an interesting perspective for sure Joma… but am sure it will be a delight either way

No, it is not out of phase, but the image is wide. One hears one side of the piano out of one speaker; the other side, out of the other speaker. I am interested in learning what others hear and what they think of the presentation.

Would love to play a snippet but I see no way to play the examples as they are no separate files and I am too lazy to install an extraction tool. Anyway that width seems strange…as you say like sitting in the piano.

I haven’t posted often, but had to since I received my copy of ‘Out of Thin Air’ today. What a fine recording! It sounded like I was in the room. My media room has a Spinner piano at one end and a multi-channel system at the other. My Oppo 203 plays both the data disk, and the SACD without issue…

Received my copy today! Fantastic sound playing the dsf file thru the DirectStream dac. Please let this become a trend including the high resolution files on a separate disc with the SACD! Bravo!!!
