The little Sound Liaison label, renowned for their hi-res one to one copy of their studio master wav/pcm files, has coursed a bit of a discussion on the computer audiophile forum.
They have transferred their stunning sounding pcm masters via an analog signal chain and remastered them using outboard analogue equipment to DSD.
According to theit newsletter they find that by going analogue pcm to dsd they are able to embellish their own masters to best suit the DSD format.
I have downloaded and compared a couple of their new DSD files and I must say I like the sound.
They are not better than the very good sounding pcm masters that I all ready own but... different, maybe a bit warmer but also less airy.
Any how I like the sound, it is more...analogue..?
Several forum members on the computer audiophile site seems almost angry that Sound Liaison has dared to remaster their own files to DSD, and says that there is no way they are going to sound better than the pcm files that they have bought.
But in my opinion DSD and PCM are always going to sound different so why all the fuss? isn't it is a matter of taste... or do I see that wrong?
Maybe we could have a less heated and less technical but more "what does it sound like" discussion here.
