L'Arte del Violino - Poster's Note.txt
Source: Rutracker (an extraordinarily large torrent containing DSD64, 128 and 258 version, summing to 18 GB with 3 seeders for binaural ; the speaker version had only 1)
Label: Cobra Classics
Processing: Converion from DSD256 files to 24bit 88 KHz using Foobar 64bit FP and +6Db Gain (the loudest track is now at -1 Db). In Audition extremely short fades (like 0.1 sec) were made the start and end of every track to suppression initian/terminal clicks (you ca Automat this in Audition). Metadata tweaks & additions.
A note about binaural: Binaural is designed for headphones, recordeed with microphones attached to the dummy of a human head. The music will sound fine of speakers but will have less stereo width. Too much stereo width on headphones is distressing, but the same "wide" music listened to on speakers wouldn't trouble the hearer.
I hope people appreciate only having to download 1.3 GB instead of 18 GB. This is still high definition stuio master quality. Most sound cards including mu creatibe AE-5 cannot directly play back DSD, neither can older receivers. DSD is a gimmick, PCM is more versatile & is here to stay.
