MA Recordings DVD Rom Hi Res.

[rjb301]

Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone here has purchased any of the new DVD Rom Hi Res discs from MA Recordings.  I ordered three: La Segunda 24bit/176.4 kHz "Nama" 24bit/176.4 kHz Opening 24bit/176.4 kHz Eagerly awaiting arrival in Australia. I have some lovely discs from MA including Peter Epsteine's "Staring at The Sun, but this a somewhat interesting format selection. Interested if anybody has heard these and any thoughts? Cheers Rob.

Thanks Joe, Ray.

I received the discs two weeks ago.  What an interesting format.  Lots of details about the recording, photos and artwork.  I dumped all the files into my tagging software “Metadatics” and then onto the Aries Mini.  And listening to the music through my Chord DAVE and B & W D3’s is quite special!

I agree that some of the music is challenging and not completely up my alley but you have to marvel at the sound.  True Hi Res recordings!  The disc “Opening” is the best one for me comparison wise .  I own 300 or so ECM recordings and to me that really sets the standard sonically, jazz wise... but wow! Opening has this wonderful depth in sound that I honestly can’t hear in the ECM recordings... and that’s saying something.  You can actually hear the “room” it is recorded in. Stunning.

I also have the Peter Epstein dis “Staring at the Sun” from MA which is pretty cool too.
any other recommendations from MA either of you?  Thanks for replying.

Rob.

Hey.  Thanks.  I received a DVD ROM sampler from 2011 (?) with my order.  I guess you are not talking about that.?  I have an OPPO BD 105D As my SACD player as my Chord BLU CD transport does not okay SACD’s!!

i should go to the MA page to purchase the sampler yes?

thanks for getting back to me.
