tresaino Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 after having seen the interview with Peter Frampton on hdtrack.com and then another one on youtube, where he talks about 24 bit versus 16 bit and analog ( ), decided to download the Mr. Churchill album. Another disappointment with the sound! Do we really need 24/96 for listening to over-compressed audio? Gosh.. Link to comment
wgscott Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Do we really need 24/96 for listening to over-inflated egos? (Sorry if you are a Peter Frampton fan. I couldn't resist). I saw some (classical) CDs at the bookstore yesterday where they advertised they were recorded 24/96, but then I also noticed each CD had 74 minutes of music on it, so something isn't right with this picture...

The Computer Audiophile Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 That's classic. Redbook CDs recorded at 24/96 and converted to 16/44.1 for the final product. I'm not sure I would actually advertise that :~) Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
tresaino Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Does Frampton have an over-inflated ego? I am not a PF fan and couldn't tell, and in any case don't care really.. I remember Miles and his ego, and I adore his music. What upsets me is the musician and hdtracks joining in advertising high resolution audio and then delivering such poor sound. Link to comment
sturgl Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ...after also watching the video. It was an impulse buy, I'll admit. I also came away unimpressed. I've bought quite a bit of 24/xx music from HDTracks, and have generally been pleased with my purchases. Not so here. -TS Audio Rig: Transporter -> Behringer DEQ2496 -> NAD M2 -> Paradigm Studio 60s v.5 -> Treated listening room Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'm very impressed by the new Getz/Gilberto 24/96 release on HDracks. https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD00602517679221 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
tresaino Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 from the latest HDtracks newsletter: "Because of the wonderful response to our recent feature of Peter Frampton’s newest release Thank You Mr. Churchill and Mr. Frampton’s enthusiasm for high-quality audio, we have the distinct pleasure of offering his breakthrough mega-hit Frampton Comes Alive! in HDtracks’ stunning 96/24 sound." nothing to add.. sigh..

I. G. Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Frampton's ego fills at least 24bit but 32 would be a safer bet. ? MBP ? M2Tech hiFace ? Heed Q-PSU/Dactilus 2 ? Heed CanAmp ? Sennheiser HD650 Link to comment
