Your best DSD256


There is a sale at HDTT now, and I purchased 6 albums today. The first one I listened was The Pink Panther, and I do not think I have heard any version sounding as good as this DSD256!

I have 5 more to hear. :man_dancing:

Talking about a wide soundstage, I will go to this one. But there is nothing like listening to this newly remastered DSD256 from HDTT. It is fun to hear the wide soundstage expanded outside of FR-30s on both sides. The best part is that I have never heard of this much detail before!

Hearing something different or additional in this audiophile work horse is impressive.

There is something particularly special to my ears in today’s recordings made directly to DSD256 using modern microphones, electronics, power supplies and cables. Included in this Recent Discoveries No. 22 article, published today, are reviews of six outstanding Pure DSD256 recordings released over the past couple of months. The transparency of sound in these recordings is remarkable.

The marvelous Anna Fedorova recorded by Jared Sacks in Pure DSD256. Jared says “I just used a A/B with a m/s in the middle. trying to the right balance between the piano and the ambience of the space. No post productions except for some simple edits from Anna.” Simple miking, excellent acoustic space in which to make the recording, and wonderful performances. Just doesn’t get any better than this.

Here is a very welcome news:

PSA Octave Records has lowered their DSD256 music price to $29. It is the same as their SACD and DSD128. The latest releases all sound incredible! They are really amazing!!

You guys let us know what’s good and bad about our pricing model and we respond. Enough folks were unhappy about the higher prices of the DSD256 so we helped out! Enjoy!

Very nice, @Paul.

I would pay extra to get the data discs with the SACD like you used to offer when you first launched Octave Records.

Don’t know if it can be done cost effectively


Keep up the great work promoting great recordings of musical performances.
