  • Re: New DSD transfers of Solti's Ring to be released on SACD by Univers

    From Oscar@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 29 22:39:46 2022
    The Highlights album has been released on AppleMusic. A quick survey reveals a great leap forward in vividness, clarity and bit-depth resolution. VPO brass sounding finer and more 'metal' than ever before; Nilsson singing for all her life in the GötterdĂ
    ¤mmerung Immolation Scene. Can't wait for the whole enchilada to drop next month. Wow!

    The highlights album is on Amazon also: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BB3FS23G/ref=dm_rwp_pur_lnd_albm_hd

    For a mere 29.98 the SACD can be preordered for delivery Nov 11. I did a
    quick comparison and Oscar is right - the sound is clearer, particularly
    the brass. Whether it is worth replacing my current version I'm NotSure..

    Hybrid SACD and LP releases of each opera plus a Blu-Ray release of the
    whole thing, with Dolby Atmos mix.

    I hope this Dolby Atmos tampering doesn't mess things up. When DGG
    released Bernstein's Mahler symphony videos on DVD they remixed the
    audio into DTS which was a big botch-up. At least the videos retained
    an audio track which is sort of "normal."


    Probably some dynamic range compression added too!

    For all the Ring fans who want to listen with Apple AirPods while
    jogging! :^)

    There is def some compression going on here. I have listened to it the past 3 days in the car in L.A. traffic, no problemo. Still think it sounds good, but yes, was wondering this morning, "How are these waveforms going to look?"

    I have ordered the actual SACD so I'll see how that sounds. All I know is I have never heard this Ring sound this good and I have had all of the various incarnations. I'll leave others to knowledgably discuss the technical aspects, in the end it all
    depends how it sounds to me and so far it sounds really good. Can't wait for the CD. Randy
