Naim label sail on bandcamp is that highres?

Posted by: Claus-Thoegersen on 15 December 2015

I got a mail from Naim Label today, about the winter sale. The download albums are on bandcamp, and the prices are very good, but I cannot see if that is cd quality or 24 bit versions also?

Bandcamp is not the most screen reader friendly site, so I may be overlooking something that is obvious here.

Also 24 bit, on Bandcamp they don't always get the indication in which quality available, but I downloaded just recently Get the Blessing and both have been high res, so I guess that counts for all then...

I'm bewildered by Naims link to Bandcamp. I've stopped really considering the Naim label as a result. I don't want yet another site to negotiate.

Bandcamp all good for me, never had any problems with it.

Each download generally gives you options re format etc-not sure if the choices are clear before purchasing though so maybe that needs clarifying.

I've joined and been using Bandcamp for a couple of years now as it's a great place to discover new music. However I would agree it is not the easiest site to navigate. Music can be download in formats from MP3 to 24 bit Hi-Res Claus. At the moment the Naim Label site on Bandcamp only has a couple of pages of albums on sale so only a small fraction of their catalogue, I imagine the rest are to follow...

This is interesting. I too received the e-mail about the winter sale so went to have a look only to find a much reduced offering, including those not in the sale. Does this mean that this is now all that is being offered by Naim Label?

What, for instance, has happened to the Charlie Haden recordings?

I had already everything I wanted so I can't benefit right now. Bought only Get The Blessing last albums recently. It's good that Naim is on Bandcamp.
