I'm talking about how the quality of these very low level sounds heard through a headphone.
The gain was cranked op about 40dB. (That is gain before line level/headphone amplification.)Another disc where you can listen for low level detail is the Sony SBM demonstration disc. (Redbook listen to the water and chimes demo with and without SBM)
The sound quality of the demo track with the gain cranked up sounds far more natural than the low level detail on the Mahler sacd.Frank
