Hi My Audio Friends, Scroll down the email and Linn records is offering free download of an entire SACD sample album of 6 songs in flac at full 96khz and 24 bits.
I downloaded it last and played it on my slim devices SB3 but had some problem with some distortion as I found out that SB3 while it support 24 bits only support 44.1khz which is normal red book CD and 48khz and not 96khz although my benchmark DAC was able to support all the way to 192khz and 24 bits. I got around the situation by converting the file from flac to wav at 96/24 and it was OK and sounded more open than playing the SACD. I have have mozart symphony no 40 on SACD and compared between the SACD recording and the 96/24 and the sound was so much open. Both are recordings are from the same exact source recording. BTW, I am playing my SACD on marantz SA8400 player. Happy listening.
