Putting DS mk2 Bluesky FPGA and 3.2.2 with Bacch to the test. Indeed it makes Bacch-dSP better by tenfold.

This is pure fun to listen to with the BACCH-DSP as there are no mics used.

Linden,

Can’t seem to find this one on Qobuz.

566

Sorry, that’s CD. I also played my original Walter Carlos’ Switched-On Bach LP from '68. They’re virtually indistinguishable as far as spatiality goes. If one listened extremely close, you could tell the LP due to a bit of surface noise between tracks.

Actually, Tidal shows very, very little from Walter or Wendy Carlos.

I think Edgar has a folder called “binaural audio” with ten pieces in AIF 44K that he has handy in Apple Music for use in setting up systems. At least that is how my these files wound up on my new Mac Mini M4 earlier this week.

Did you have your Edgar call? Is your new POWERFUL Mac Mini in service yet?

576

Yup, 2018 Mac Mini i5 has been replaced with a 2024 Mac Mini M4 24GB 10G. It is cool and silent. No more fan noise after a couple hours of playback. Is a very solid device. Though Apple still does not support True ATMOS passthrough over HDMI. So it is still “just” a “two trick” BACCH4Mac Active Crossover Stereo and Dolby Reference Player ATMOS (music not video) over USB-C to my Audient Oria machine. No surprises though. I still have my Nvidia Shield for movies. Edgar took an interest in my ATMOS set up too. Provided him with some consulting on how to extract ATMOS data from Blurays for processing on a server. Fun.

Am sure I posted this before. But was in the mood for some heavy fast attack! Er… again!

Not for the meek. One hell of a ride.
Dark, Dark in the daytime.

The first two songs didn’t do much for me. But “A Fragile Thing” grabbed my attention. From then on whoo boy!

This new EP from Robin Guthrie may soothe you:

If you let Roon Radio take over after, it gets kind of squirrely.

It amuses me, I am listening to this very odd music, so I look at it on Roon. From the picture I expected Spy Music.

You look at this and tell me what you might expect. Then listen to the track.

Re Moritz von Oswald… I guess he does look a bit posh… Oh wait, he actually is… as he is a great-great-grandson of Otto von Bismarck, aka, the Imperial Chancellor of the German Empire!

Here are some of my favourite more recents productions of his family, er, descendent:

I did read his bio. He has been involved in some of my favorite music. Interesting.
