One and a half Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Drooling here, the new Hiromi Album with Jackson and Phillips released in Japan Feb 3 2016. The e-onkyo is a 96/24. However, Hiromi has worked with Gus Skinas and talking DSD, so perhaps a small wait for the SACD or DSD download to come. Anyone bought from e-onkyo from outside Japan successfully in the last month?

CatManDo Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 A SACD is unlikely. Her past SACD releases are from the time with Telarc. Telarc stopped releasing SACDs at some point (even for classical recordings made in DSD), was bought by Concord which also stopped releasing SACDs. Edit: I just noticed that two later Hiromi albums, "Move" and "Voice", were release on SACD in Japan (single layer SHM-SACDs) Claude Link to comment
One and a half Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Received yesterday. When it comes to the end of the disk, there's an awwww, the music is good, and it is. There's more structure in this album than for Alive!, rhythmic, even melodic at times, wow, surprised,and enjoyable. Only had a short listen, if you wish a reference recording for how drums are played, keep this album in mind for Simon Phillips' excellent work as an acoustic as well as a musical benchmark. He plays better than Keith Moon, with the deepest respect. The album was recorded to a Sonoma workstation in DSD, talk of a 96/24 version but when? Recommended for jazz/fusion even for (prog) rock fans there's something for you here. Hiromi is one remarkable woman. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment

dallasjustice Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Did Michael Bishop do this one too? Edit: it looks like Yes! All of his Hiromi recordings are reference quality. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Link to comment
wanta911 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I only have the Voice album which I love, so I will be getting this. Any recommendations for earlier albums? Perhaps something a little different? I have had the Spiral album recommended to me just recently..... Link to comment

What do you mean by "tonally the fine line better than the hires"? Are you saying you prefer the "tone" of the CD? Hey MQA, if it is not all $voodoo$, show us the math! Link to comment

CatManDo Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 DR10 for both the SHM-CD and the 24/96 download Album list - Dynamic Range Database Seems normal these days given the target audience (younger jazz fans) and the type of music (electric instruments in part). Here are some impressions from the recording session: Claude Link to comment
crenca Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yeah I do, has more character if that's a distinction. Hum, to what in your opinion would you attribute this? Does your DAC have a "sweet spot" for 16/44? Or would you say there is a difference in the mastering of the recording itself? Hey MQA, if it is not all $voodoo$, show us the math! Link to comment
