Qobuz. HR. This is a re-working of Rameau’s music which seems to take a ‘one step forward, two steps back’ approach. It’s not bad but … I cannot make up my mind about the sound quality; there is some depth to the soundstage but there is a graininess to the tone which is simultaneously realistic and slightly jarring. I guess it is worth a listen if only to exercise your critical faculties.

Michael Pedicin “Ballads – Searching for Peace”

Interesting player and album. In a Coltrane mode, at least here.

Right now Lou Donaldson “Quartet, Quintet, Sextet” Blue Note 24 bit by RVG LP facsimile cd, Japan.

It amazes how great I can get these to sound on my system these days. I’m buying them when I can at cheaper prices.

Just a few selected tracks but man this brings back memories. Watching Keith throw the B3 around in concert, awesome noise!

Qobuz free trial. It’s Bitperfect using Audirvana/Sony UBP-X1000ES (DLNA)/DirectStream DAC Sr. I2S input. I need to do some careful listening tests between AmazonHD (not Bitperfect) & Qobuz. Dropping $15/month at this moment is not happening. DLNA/I2S so far is the winner WRT to sound quality. This is where AmazonHD sucks. Now the questions is do my ears hear a real difference. They didn’t when I had the SGCD without Audirvana. Ted’s DAC is so much more flexible regarding playback options. Placebo effect tells me that I2S rules above all other inputs :grin:

BTW. I’d heard of Lindisfarne via an old Genesis Documentary from 30 years ago but never really tried their music. Joey likey :grin:

Dirk’s post actually got me curious.

Lindisfarme 1970 - 1973
