Hi
Ive just been doing some basic research and listening to some samples which sound very nice through my Grado headphones. Im getting into this and beginning to see this now.
Ive just heard samples of Thriller, The Carpenters and Sounds of War on piano and violin...it sounded better than cd and a good challenge to the vinyl copies Ive heard. when I click the sample arrow Im not entirely sure whats coming down the line but it sounded very nice indeed...clearer more detailed, more controlled, less sibilance and other lower grade nasties
Ive found a top 5 listed from the Sony site
Acoustic Sounds Super HiRez
HDtracks
ProStudio Masters
iTrax
Native DSD Music and Beyond
Ive sampled a couple and just wondered if anybody else uses these sites. I want to get into high res audio and together with a DAC and valve amplifier I may be on the right track.
I was looking at the Fiio player and also what software I need on computers and phones.
Cheers
Martin
