As David Price reported this month: "Paradoxically, many of us concluded that the only accessible hi-res music source around right now is vinyl...."
But vinyl only has a dynamic range of 12 bits! However, it does have a sampling rate of infinityHz. And it's funny how I just want to add some compression to these 24 bit downloads... I can't hear the really quiet parts for room noises, and the loudest parts can be heard across town! Perhaps 12 bits is all we really need. |

Agreed. Whilst I hate clipping and brickwall limiting, it sounds loud and suits some music. Despite the limited dynamic range I think you can turn a vinyl record up without it becoming unpleasant or too loud.

Yes, the HD choices lean towards classical. What does the DVD have written on it please? It may be DVD-Audio or Dolby Digital or DTS, those will need a DVD player with the decoders built in. Sorry if I have misunderstood or just stated the obvious to you! Jon

Although a question for ServerBaboon (who sent me a disc containing samples) I think you're right and I'll have to shove it through the DVD player which has S/PDIF out.

There's a nifty little program called DVD audio extractor which does what it says on the tin . . I've used to get PCM tracks off DVD-Audio discs as well as DVD video. |

Should be just able to browse it, copy the files one folder is flac, one folder is wav. Sorry I should have said these are just some files to play on a computer. Edited by ServerBaboon - 22 May 2012 at 12:17pm |

Hi Graham
I've seen a lot of King Crimson DVD audio discs out on ebay. Good prices as well at around £15 each. I don't know if you're into King Crimson but I thought you might be. I've heard some of these DVD-audio releases and they've sounded great IMO. Best wishes Johan |
