Hello all
my first post.. ;-)

So, a list for me of superb HD albums (all bought on Qobuz, sometimes HDtracks)
- Roger Waters - Amused to death 24/96 one of my favorite
- Bachar Mar-Khalifé - Ya Balad 24/48 an amazing music and a superb recording
- Prokofiev Piano works by Abdel Rahman El Bacha 24/88
- Brad Meldhau - 10 years solo live 24/44
- Hildegard von Bingen : Vox cosmica by Arianna Savall 24/96 the daughter of Jordi Savall, a superb voice
- Los Pajaros Perdidos - Christina Pluhar 24/88
- What Was Said - Tord Gustavsen 24/96 (generally speaking all ECM recording are superb)

Etc... I realize I must stop; I have over 3K albums. Even some traditional 16/44 are beautifully recorded (Mozart piano works by Barenboim, as an example)

Congratulations on your first post. Don't stop, just take your time. You have three-thousand albums. That's very impressive.

Hi,

One it's no trouble...just the click of a button for me. Two, yes on sound quality...I am guessing it the differing digital filtering...not the bit to bit making the key difference...

I like the whole album, but particularly the first track - "Elvis Presley Blues". I'm glad to hear that Amir was able to acquire the Sound Liaison recordings, as they are superb.

I bought a few of these yesterday from Sound Liaison. On sale 10 euros each right now. I had Impromptu (DSD64) Bought Road to Memphis, Bach Reflections and one other in the native PCM format it was recorded in. I'm up sampling the PCM to DXD for playback...

Excellent sound quality and very interesting music !

APP said:

Is that worth the trouble to up sample to DXD when the PCM file is a one to one copy of the master file?

Another superb sounding recording from Sound Liaison - Paul Berner Band's "Road to Memphis". This one was recorded live in 24/96 PCM, so I'd recommend that over the DSD conversion.

It is the same problem in that both ways Paypal is handling the payment.

That said, I bought their whole library with money I had leftover in my paypal account from something I had sold a couple of years ago .

What is so wonderfull about their reordings is the sense of depth, regardless of the style of music being played. the 2 new albums are completely different but yet the sound is so clearly Sound Liaison.

It is a fantastic album download. Carmen Gomes and the blues is a wonderful combination. And sound engineer Frans de Rond has surpassed himself in sound quality. Each instrument stands out and blends perfectly. I dare say a new classic is born.

Yes, I think so too. It is of course difficult to say with the album still so fresh but I believe this will stand the test of time.
