Nice morning music, great harp players, nice female vocals
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.
John Coltrane “Impressions” Japan Impulse MQA/UHQCD
Sounds killer.
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!
Fun Techno Pop, lots of stereo effects
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
BTW. I’d heard of Lindisfarne via an old Genesis Documentary from 30 years ago but never really tried their music. Joey likey
Dirk’s post actually got me curious.
