For quite some time, my wife and I have been listening to 32-bit 352.8kHz (or 384kHz) PCM files whenever we are not able to get Pure DSD256 files. Why? We've found they consistently sound better than the 24-bit files. They get just a half-step closer to the Pure DSD256 file that has never been converted to PCM for post-processing. I thought it might be of interest to share what we're hearing and to make available some free to download sample files (courtesy of Bob Witrak at High Definition Tape Transfers). So, here's a link to the article posted today at Positive Feedback. The links to download the file samples are in that article. I'll be interested in what you hear with your DAC, because results WILL vary by DAC. |

There's so little edginess in those recordings that they've put many listeners to sleep! Wonderful for relaxation and "easy listening"! ;-) View YouTube Video |

Who's calling these press conferences? No, no time for Mantovani! |
