Wow, great stuff that I's swear was recorded in the 1960s if I didn't know better. Love the drums on the first track. 

Absolutely agreed. Thanks for turning me on to this Doc! Excellent recording and performances.

+10  The musicianship and the recording are great, but it wouldn't work without being just wonderful performances, as TubeLover says.  BTW, did you see her White Album?  Yes, two discs, all 30 songs...in order. WIld.

That particular album isn't on Qobuz, much to my dismay, but its totally worth ordering the CD from her website and waiting the month or more to get it, plus you're supporting a great artist. I have bought a bunch of her stuff, including her Christmas album.

 

edit: I accumulate books and CDs faster than I can read or rip them these days.

Probably the exact sound she was going for!

Anything from Linn Records, it sounds so good even on Tidal.

Just purchased the DSD remaster from the original master tapes at Acoustic Sounds. Fantastic!

 

"Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original analog master. DSD file created by Gus Skinas from the original DSD audio used to create the Analogue Productions SACD."

Tidal has great videos of Morgan James as well, called OurVinyl Sessions.

So cool!

 

 

[AudioDoctor]

Those are on CD as well.

 

edit: I would have swore I had this downloaded already, but I know for a fact I do now. Its there on the HDD, but Roon isn't importing it.

Have the flat file transfer. Superb.

I got Roon to recognize it, and the local files sound so much better than the streamed version.

I know, it is off topic, but why it that so: Different mastering or is implementation of streaming simply worse than implementation of local playback. If yes, which supplier?

Albums of the evening. I fairly regularly do a session of '60-'65 Coltrane.

Logic would say its the same album either streamed from Qobuz, or purchased and downloaded from Qobuz. I really don't have an answer to why, only guesses. Local files do tend to sound better in my system. This did seem to be a bigger difference than usual though, maybe I need to look at my network.

I am connecting to Qobuz via BubbleUPnP-Server and from there sending the stream to the renderer - either JRiver (or Foobar2k) - definitely no difference as when playing it in JRiver from local disc drive.

With some practice (in JRiver) you will get the streaming file extracted. When comparing both versions, they are identical - on bit level. Also, during playback, I see network activity in the first seconds only, then all data seem to be in the local memory.

I'll PM you and not derail this more than I have already.

A beautiful lp for the New Year. Kellylee Evans tribute to Nina Simone.

Seventeen hours of Bach starting just after midnight to celebrate a happier year. Best wishes to all.

 Just wanted to say (before I opened the AS site!) that if someone doesn't begin this year with Bach - he's not and will never be a friend of mine, I'm sorry!  (24-96)

Call it Album of the Six Evenings, this is a remarkable collection.
