Live Streaming of the 2015 Chopin Competition PRIZE-WINNERS' CONCERTS

There will be a live streaming on DSD5.6MHz of concerts performed by the prize winners of the 17th Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition, which has been held from October 3 in Warsaw, Poland.
The performers will be the prize winners of the final round of the Competition held during October 18-20.

To listen to this live streaming, please install the software “PrimeSeat”. An updated version will be available from October 21 at http://dsd.st.

With the former PrimeSeat, a DSD 5.6MHz/1bit compatible KORG or a Sony-made USB-DAC was necessary.

Even without connecting to a DAC, your PC will automatically convert audio quality (for example, PCM 96kHz/24bit) in accordance to your PC’s viewing capabilities.
By connecting to a DSD compatible USB-DAC, you will be able to listen in DSD high audio quality.
For further details, please refer to the “Required Equipment Configurations” below.

We hope you will enjoy this year’s prize winners’ concerts, by installing the upgraded PrimeSeat v1.1.0 beta.
