The Marvin Gaye Collection DSD at Acoustic Sounds

[nbourbaki]

Has anyone listened to this recording? Is it worth the purchase?

 

Thanks

I have "Let's Get It On" DSD. Both are from Gus Skinas, "The Collection" from the master created for the SA-CD. I have not being disappointed, so far, with any DSD release from Super Hirez, after about a dozen or so under the belt.

 

I would not expect The Collection to be any different.

 

Musically... totally up to you!

I have this collection on DVD-Audio:

Amazon.com: Marvin Gaye Collection (DVD-Audio Surround Sound): Music

 

It's nice to have, but I don't think that the audio quality is something special.

But that might be due to the recording(s) quality in the first place.

I think Gus Skinas just authors SACDs from a digital master prepared by somebody else.

 

I haven't heard it, but the Marvin Gay Collection SACD got poor reviews on sa-cd.net concerning the stereo layer.

Dynamicwise it's OK, DR11 for the HDtracks 24/88 download (probably a SACD rip)
