Preservation


"It’s important to acknowledge that the thousands of people who insist that the original vinyl release of an analog-era recording often sounded better than did the CD re-issue aren’t wrong.

It’s only their hasty conclusion that this was due to an inherent fault of LPCM that’s mistaken."

About the above mentioned DSD format. In most cases, DSD is simply a shell. True DSD is recorded as DSD but this is rare, given the recording needs to be done in one complete take.

Rare except for ALL of Blue Coast, Fone AND Octave releases. You might have heard of Native DSD.With the Sonoma sys only necessary edits are converted and spliced. You are free to point them out. They are inaudible to most of us humans.
I can easily convert .mp3 to .DSF. Anyone with a critical ear can hear that.
Besides I am a fan of direct to disk vinyl. One take is good. Like early Beatles or Captain Beef heart.


I must have really hit a nerve fuzztone but anything not recorded in DSD is converted over to that format.
