Tony Williams Trio: Young at Heart | Paul - May 6, 2025

This was Sony Japan’s and the world’s first DSD (Direct Stream Digital) recording. Recorded in September of 1996.

In Heavenly Harmony: Romantic Music for Violin and Organ - Auner / Lucke | JPO - May 11, 2025

Disappointing experience. The multichannel area of the SA-CD layer contains a fake multichannel recording, with very little signal in the center channel. It is highly likely ...
