Hi @Paul

Why are Octave Records releases limited to DSD64 (SACD)?

Are they not recorded at higher DSD rates like DSD128? If so, why can’t we purchase these higher rates?

DSD64 is technically not very good - when nothing else was available it was fine but now we have higher rate recording abilities?
