Thanks for saying what needed to be said, Chris.

JoeWhip, I often feel like an ingrate reading a really nice article like yours and then saying "But you should have included . . ." So with sincere appreciation for your work (and I think I speak on Chris' behalf as well when I say) . . . what, no Tsuyoshi Yamamoto? 🙂 Joel

I don't know for sure, Doody. I just know the recordings I've heard are quite good, in some cases unavailable anywhere else I'm aware of and the prices are very good. Joel

Don't ask me how long it took me to figure that out. You won't feel so bad. Joel

Look at the grocery cart. There should now be a number in it. I didn't realize that for a while. Then click on the grocery cart and it should take you to complete your purchase. Joel

JoeWhip, I know, I had to work with that a bit myself. Once you're on the Dizzy Gillespie album page for example, click on the page a few times and then hit the down arrow to move down the page. You should then see the attached image which I hope will give you the information you're looking for. Joel

My apologies if this site has been publicized on Audiophile Style, my search found no reference to it. The site is http://fondamenta-music.com/ Fantastic high-res music from artists like Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck and Bill Evans as well as some gorgeous classical recordings. The recordings themselves are very well done and, surprisingly, the prices are low for what you get. Enjoy. I certainly am. Joel

I'd suggest watching for the review that should go up on this site a week from tomorrow. Joel

It's wrong I didn't know about this, Chris. I must get this album and I must get it now. Otherwise, how can I be happy? 😊 Thanks for the heads-up. Joel

Very sorry about this, Chris. That's a price you shouldn't have to pay for operating a website and trying to give participants the best online experience possible. Joel

You're a good man, Chris. Enjoy. Joel

Thanks Chris. I'm sorry for the delay in my response as I was offline for the last two days. APL's DSD-SR MK2 is available only recently and the website hasn't been updated accordingly yet. I'll be happy to get you any details you would like. I had the unit in my system and even though I currently have the upgraded version (MK2) of the flagship model, I was surprised at how good the DSD-SR MK2 sounded. I was actually a little sad about taking it out of my system to ship to Chris. Joel

Interesting post, Barrows. What are you using to convert your files to DSDX4? Joel

I've ripped a lot of Blu-rays, Chris and, in my experience, if it says PCM stereo (and it does), then it's lossless. I've never seen an exception. Joel
