It looks like a Symphony #3 recording is coming up from RR http://referencerecordings.blogspot.com/2013/06/touching-base-after-latest-kansas-city.html

The new Kauffman Center is spectacular. My dad has season tickets and reports that the acoustics are great. We took a tour a couple of weeks ago. The lobby is a little severe but the listening spaces are beautiful!

Are all RR DSD masters now?

RR does not record in DSD. They only do PCM via PM2 converters

Why do they use 24/176.4 format? Does that convert better to DSD for their SACD's? I know (according to their website) that Channel Classics records in DSD but then converts to 24/192 rather than 24/176.4; any idea why?

Multiples of 44.1 ... easier to compute (mathematically/digitally with lesser complications).

I've had my theories but I still feel even integer conversion sounds the best when going to DSD. I've tried many samplerate converters and some do a better job at non-interger converting than others, but I just want to keep it simple.
Also when I had the PM2 comparing to other converters, I felt that 176.4 sounded better than 192.
