Eagles: Hotel California | George P - Today 09:09 am

Over the last month, I have compared this new MFSL SACD to the old DCC Japan CD a number of times. I always loved the warm, full sound of the DCC CD, but I love this album so ...

Les Espaces Électroacoustiques III | Amfortas - May 23, 2023

Yes, same happened to me, got it from Amazon.co.uk and it’s not SACD. No logo but the title clearly says surround sound. And the Amazon title advertises this disc as SACD ...

Aucoin: Orphic Moments - Rose | David Stanbury - May 27, 2023

This album has 2 discs of music. Oddly, the first disc is a SACD while the second disc is a conventional CD!

Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 - Noseda | Adrian Quanjer - May 28, 2023

Das war einmahl… Just for once, so it seems. What a pity! Despite the adamant encouragement from old hands like John, NSO has apparently decided to move from physical Hi-Res ...
