chriznatch Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Has anyone listened to the HD Tracks download of this album, or the DSD download from Acoustic Sounds? If so, any thoughts on sound quality? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one or the other. Thanks. Link to comment
firedog Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The HDT is fantastic. Haven't heard the Acoustic Sounds. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three BXT Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment
CatManDo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 There is an earlier thread on this album: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f13-audiophile-downloads/art-blakey-moanin-high-definition-tracks-14949/ The DSD download from Acoustic Sounds and the Analogue Productions SACD have the same mastering.

chriznatch Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks. I tried searching the forum on "Blakely" and "Moanin" but got no hits. Maybe I was searching the wrong category or something. In any event, I downloaded the 24/96 version from HD Tracks this morning. Looking forward to listening to it when I get home from work tonight.

I bet you'll love it. The HDTracks version of Moanin is in my top 5 downloads from there. Noticeable improvement over CD. I just bought Roots and Herbs, but haven't listened yet. Link to comment
jhwalker Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Besides sounding good, it's also one of my favorite jazz albums musically. A winner all 'round.
