Jud Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Can you not PS3-it? Yep - but would've been cheaper, easier and I would've had it quicker had I simply waited a couple of days.

esimms86 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yep - but would've been cheaper, easier and I would've had it quicker had I simply waited a couple of days. Also, though I have no personal experience with this, some say that DSD downloads sound slightly better than the same DSD remaster ripped from SACD... Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Damn! Just bought the SACD a couple of days ago because I didn't see the download available and didn't know when it would be. This was an annoyance for me, but fortunately I waited. I kept looking for the download over the last couple weeks and never saw it, but assumed it would eventually be there. There is a PCM version also available. Does anyone know how the DSD and PCM versions were created? Was one generated from the other? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

The Computer Audiophile Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm listening to it via TIDAL right now. I was unaware this new release was a different mix. In the track Perfect Sense, Pt. I the voices at the beginning are clearly different (not just sound different quality-wise). Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

I the voices at the beginning are clearly different (not just sound different quality-wise). Cool. I have both the CD version of yore - which is actually excellently mastered with Q-sound and whatnot - and just bought this one. Will listen over the weekend.

wgscott Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 He always said he wanted to have HAL's voice in there, and would dub it in (like on the live album) at a later date. Did he do that? Link to comment

The Computer Audiophile Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The DSD download label is Analogue Productions and the FLAC download label is Columbia. I wonder if Analogue Productions created the DSD version and Columbia created the PCM version? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
wgscott Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I believe so. Yes, it is there. Excellent. I am iTunes streaming it, but this warrants the upgrade, so after obsessing for 3 weeks on which format to purchase, it will be full steam ahead. Link to comment

I wonder if Analogue Productions created the DSD version and Columbia created the PCM version? If I had to venture a guess it would be that the analog tapes were ADC'd into 192/24, mixed and mastered here, and the DSD file is sourced from the 192/24 master. I'm guessing DSD all the way is just too much effort. Would love to know the actual story though.

I'm guessing DSD all the way is just too much effort. Would love to know the actual story though. It would be fascinating if the mix was done in analog and masterings were done separately for PCM and DSD... That would just be soooo fecking amazing... Methinks I'm just going to have to buy the vinyl as well, even though I don't have a tt setup yet.
