Stereophile Editor's Choice—of course!
We've got the new HRT Music Streamer Pro USB DAC in for review at <I>Stereophile</I>. We always try to find helpful tracks for putting a product through its paces during our listening sessions. What music selections would you like to see used for this review?
High-resolution sources, if possible, please. Perhaps a sample or two from one of the current offerings from Reference Recordings' HRx discs. Also, if it's not too much to ask, the high-resolution version of Sera Una Noce from MA Recordings.
In addition to the standard reference tracks, I'd like to see at least one modern, popular, over-compressed, generally poor-sounding pop recording. I like current FM radio stuff just as much as I like old reissues and audiophile recordings—so I'm always interested to know how a component will handle "junk food."
