Bowers & Wilkins Society of Sound

 

Downloads at 24bit 48KHz

 

The Creole Choir of Cuba

Shostakovitch Concertos No 1 & 2

Shchedrin Concerto No 5

Peter Gabriel Live in Athen 1987 (So)

Ravel Bolero: Gergiev, LSO live.

 

Got to say that the quality is great, although not all the music is to my taste.

 

The Peter Gabriel is fantastic.

 

Great VFM

I find this download lark has stalled for me, not enough out there worth buying at inflated prices. Still buying CDs and ripping to unitiserve. Until the uk gets a HD tracks or similar then it's a dead duck for me.

+1 - great sound can't make up for uninvolving music

Just got both Dark Side and Wish you Were Here immersion box sets. Both include a 24/96version  of the original master   Only issue is they come on BluRay audio disks so having some fun ripping to FLAC. 

 

Dark Side really does sound good @ 24/96. Hope WYWH is as good.

Ah ok - thanks. Didn't realise it was a remix too. The original sounds rather fine so I'll stick with that.

I now tread with caution buying Hi Res downloads from HD Tracks or anywhere else.  I have had mixed results, and clearly sometimes redbook sounds better.  (Some Girls is an example; I'm very disappointed with the HD Tracks version; sounds thin.)

 

I seem to do a lot better with MFSL gold cd releases in redbook format.  I can usually count on them for good (re)mastering.

 

Now the Beatles' remasters on their 24/96 release DO sound fabulous.

DVDAudio Extractor seems to be the popular choice. Can anyone confirm whether dvdae.com is the correct and safe source (hope I'm not breaking forum rules?)? Also, is it free? It appears to have a free trial but license fee thereafter.

No . Had some credit on Amazon and got it free. Not sure about resolution but sounds highly compressed. Not cd/hd quality but excellent music. Highly recommended. Will definitely get a hard copy!

I have the RVG Edition CD and it sounds quite bad (like most RVG Edition).

It makes some unpleasant listening. Out of curiosity, I bought the APO SACD. It does sound better, but mot that much. It is at least not unpleasant to listen

Steven Wilson's The Raven that refused to Sing and other stories.  24/96 FLAC for £7.50 from BurningShed.  Something that a lot of people thought was possible - downloads cheaper than CD.  The fact that it is High Res makes it a real bargain.

 

Sorry for apparent double post but wanted browsers in different rooms to see this one.

The 24/96 version of Mark Knopflers Privateering was £22 on Highresaudio. I'll stick with standard Redbook for that price. £8 from Amazon.

Posted on: 03 March 2013 by Dan43

Dark Knight Rises 192/24 version, $17.99 on HDTracks. Privateering was £20 as 24/96 from Linn site.

Just previewed Steve Wilson on iTunes. I'll order the Flac download when I've fired up my computer.
