O'kay.... I've just watched the video. Very informative and here are my observations....
1. WHY THE HELL DO YOU CAPTURE IN 24/96 PCM AND UPSAMPLE TO DSD?? What the hell were they thinking? If you capture in PCM... stay in PCM and release it on CD or Blu-ray. If you capture in DSD, release it on SACD or download. Why these companies want to make PCM to DSD and DSD to PCM conversions is beyond me. I'm certainly not going to buy any of these discs.
2. They were transferring from a Studer A80vu. If you look closely at the pinch roller and such, you can tell they are not maintaing the machine.
3. They use Cedar for restoration. It's the best there is and what we use as well.
4. They just seem to use EQ for mastering. If that is all they are doing, then why the hell didn't they put it in the signal chain when they transfered in the first place.
5. Their signal chain was Studer A80 -> 24/96 PCM -> back to analog through old EMI EQ's -> 24/96 PCM, then -> DSD for authoring...
6. He also said something about taking the mono files and doubling them up to make stero files. WTF?? You're just making a 3dB louder mono file...
Abbey Road, in this situation, is not using good sound practices.... IMHO.....
