I read the statement on their site as implying the opposite; that they record in PCM and convert to DSD for the dual layer releases. I may well be wrong, or have misunderstood it. They say: "Studio Master FLAC If absolute sound quality is what you want then this file is best for you. FLAC files are lossless at various high bit rates, for example, 48KHz, 88.2KHz and 96KHz (check each title for actual details). The quality is identical to that of an SACD (Stereo only). The format will be dependent on the actual recording method we used originally. No DSD files are offered as it is not possible to play them back on a PC so an equivalent PCM format is offered. These files offer true "studio quality" and are what was used by Linn to produce the production version of our CD releases." http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-formats.aspx But however they record stuff, and I'm sure it's changed over the years, I am glad to have the opportunity of listening to it un-downsampled. -- JezA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JezA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21219 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60665 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
