Popular Post firedog Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 eClassical/BIS don’t sell upsampled downloads. In fact, at eClassical each album page tells you what format the recording was made in. There have been some cases of distributors of BIS material taking an old recording and upsampling it to DSD/high res and selling it to download sites-without knowledge or permission of BIS. I know this from correspondence wth BIS. But if you buy their product from eClassical/BIS, it’s sure you won’t get fake hi-res.

The other versions are downsamples. semente 1 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.

They did a few trials with DSD in the early years of SACD then turned to 24/44.1 for a couple of years and finally 24/96. Certainly in recent times that seems to be true, although the eClassical site does sell various formats. BIS told me that some of their early 90's recordings that weren't in high res were sold as upsampled files to hi-res download sites as "hi-res" . This was done without their permission, but apparently there isn't anything they can do about it. semente 1 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.
