If I burn the ISO to DVD-R will it play on my SACD player? Amazing album, and some fun audiophile stuff as a bonus But there is still a certain naturalness and ease to the sound which can be very appealing, especially with wide range music like this. Of course, some will claim it's just the extra high frequency noise inherent in DSD that gives it the air, and I won't argue since I too think that is part of it since the sound does change when you try to filter it too much. It's faithful to the original CD (and likely the vinyl too, though I haven't heard it), but with some extra airiness the CD doesn't have. The CD layer on this 2003 SACD is just the inferior 1997 remaster (I'd recommend the original UK EMI-Parlophone for CD), but the DSD layer was a brand new remaster, and done very nicely. I have the ISO on my computer now thanks to those who perfected the PS3->DSD ripping process, and can play it back in foobar at whatever PCM sample rate I want. But this time it's fueled by the real SACD, not the analog rip but the DSD digital rip, and it does sound good. Total class.įriday again, but I have to work this one, so no Pale AlesĪnyway, still feeling big for Spirit of Eden. I've had other epiphanies, I am a music geek afterall, but this is definitely one of them. I have the CD, I have the remaster, the vinyl rip, the SACD rip, it just doesn't end. The hope and despair, the light and dark, the church, the sound, the rattle, I just can't get it out of my brain. So right now, my best ever musical epiphany is Spirit of Eden. might be something in my song of the day. I remember that it was one of the first records I reviewed here, a long time ago. I don't even know why anymore, but I kinda feel that I did in the past.

Beautiful record, maybe even essential to my well being, definitely epiphanic. Still, even the CD sounds great, so no big worry here, high res might not even sound right now. I do have the SACD->analog->24/96 rip, but that's a lot of processing.

I missed out on the SACD, just a bonehead. If anyone has access to that Russian torrent with the SACD->DVD-A conversion, let me know (they won't accept me as a member in those Russian sites).

Silly subject to revisit, I know, but it is Friday, and it is tax day in the US, and I do have the day off, and there has been more than one Mirror Pond Pale Ale opened.
