Desmond Fretz from Starke Sound says “Crossing” in DSD 128 Multichannel: “Results are monumental! I am right now enjoying the best reproduction so far on my main system.
The presentation is eerily, frighteningly alive. The Multichannel mix is so technically masterful that the illusion all us crazy audiophiles so ardently seek is in full, resplendent bloom. Vocals especially are being rendered in the “cocoon” of the studio space utterly detached from speakers and gear. We are there, immersed in music & sound, devoid of artifice.
I could try playing the SACD for comparison but I don’t even want to today, only to revel in what’s happening right now. This is a whole ‘nother order of music enjoyment. That solid but elusive quality of release that I obsessively pursue is overflowing.”
