I have a few dozen XRCD's from Pop/Rock, Jazz and classical recordings, they are all good for what they are- no denying that. But SACD on the right front end will not only run toe to toe with XRCD but on high quality DSD recordings blow XRCD out of the water. They are expensive and some are VERY short, making it hard to decide which ones to get.
xrcd 24 - someone did digital right
i got my first two xrcd 24 discs today.the musicality of these discs is remarkable. sacd & dvd audio should take a lesson. i have always felt the need to listen to digital much louder than analog. however, with xrcd24,i find myself turning down the volume & enjoying the performance more. "girl talk" by the tsuyoshi yamamoto trio & "landscape" by art pepper are both new to my collection, so i dont have the standard versions to compare. other than a slightly larger than life bass,i find the sound to be very analog sounding. any other recommendations in the initial releases? back to the music!
