Whew, finally finished all this. Page 1-4 good reading, after that all the usual players start there shenanigan's.
I thought it was very interesting the video with the 3 MOFI guys, clearly they are at the top of there game in delivering a high quality product. Very interesting how they received a master tape box for each track of the first Pretenders release. How some tracks are good and some horrible within the same tape. How you don't dare keep selling and offering the tape around the world as it just wouldn't last. It seems there approach is very good, although there is a digital step an what is a perceived all analog process.
I am not a vinyl person, but I could definitely see and feel for people who think they have been mislead by MOFI.
In the video article with the 3 MOFI's I was disappointed that at least not one moment was left for comments on SACD's. Do they like them, do they prefer them, do they sound different better?
But I wanted to take this information to how it directly effects me as a digital buyer.
If MOFI as they claim are to become completely transparent, than I hope they do all this with there SACD's also.
I was confused with MOFI's statement regarding the Studer capturing the 4 X DSD from the analog source. MOFI only releases 1 X DSD with there SACD's, out of my ignorance does that mean they could release DSD256 on SACD's? Not sure I own any DSD256 SACD's, I do own plenty of DSD256 downloads however.
Can a SACD play greater than DSD64?
I, like many others suffer from inadequate funds and mostly inadequate time to listen to every version of whatever and make a decision based on the way I hear things, not the way others hear things. I stand with others, best mastering trumps best format.
Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits is basically reference in any version, same with Robert Plants Manic Nirvana.
Thanks for your digital time on this digital format about this digital story about digital audio.
I hope you believe me that I am typing via skin and bones, maybe some day not?
