New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

this is not new behaviour ...

Frank's had a bit of history doing this. He might impress a few newbies, but most of us recognise his comments for what they are.

As I recall, the last time he made a similar statement, I questioned him on it. It turned out he was basing his comments on a 96/24 PCM recording from an SACD player playing SFF/MTT Mahler 1. This is a live recording, so it is quite likely the "noise" he is hearing is simply hall ambience.

Upon further questioning, he then clarified that he recorded the "quiet" bit just before the music started, amplified it 40-50dB, and deemed the results "noisy" and "grainy".

When I repeated what he did on my system, it sounded exactly like hall ambience amplified by 40-50dB.
