A first teaser with three tracks is already online at Linn ? 24-Bits of Christmas Enjoy ! PS: I have no relationship with Linn or Linn Records ! Link to comment
Jud Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 There were some very fine (and almost needless to say, beautifully recorded) tracks available with this promotion last year. Very much looking forward to it this year. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.

ted_b Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks for the reminder. These are almost always wonderful free selections each year. And a great Linn tradition for us downloaders...guess that makes us freeloaders "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

audiophile65 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hi! Got a question: I have a MacBook Pro w/Snow Leopard (10.6) and Audirvana Plus (not the 2.0 A+ just yet, but need to upgrade to). I downloaded the Linn 24 Bits of Christmas - Movies to my MacBook via the Studio Quality (24/196) ALAC download. I noticed that, according to the A+ "dashboard", track 1 has "Apple Lossless 24/44.1", track 2 has "Apple Lossless 24/96", and track 3 has "Apple Lossless 24/48". Did I do this download correctly, and /or is my set-up described above up to snuff? I've still yet to purchase my first DAC. Thanks for your help...or any suggestions you may have. BTW, the Linn Download Manager did automatically download into my Mac to use for future Linn downloads. Link to comment
kumakuma Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I downloaded the Linn 24 Bits of Christmas - Movies to my MacBook via the Studio Quality (24/196) ALAC download.

The sample rates match what I got when I selected the highest quality ("Studio Master"). Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment
audio.bill Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I recall from past years that Linn always offers each track in the highest sampling frequency that is available, but they all have 24 bit depth (hence the name of the giveaway being "24-Bits of Christmas"). Link to comment
DMW86 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks for the reminder. This was great last year and was my first taste of hi Rez. Haven't looked back since! Link to comment
