Wonderful news, humprof.

And for those interested, Patricia Barber's IMPEX 5.1 SACD HIGHER is now available from ImportCD:

Barber is brilliant, and her 5.1 releases sound amazing. I‘ll wait though, until the SACD physical media is available. I struggle to understand how a download costs $38.49 vs $30.08 for physical media. (“Higher” in DSD64, MCH & stereo).

On the other hand...as I consider the technical options of a download, the DXD version looks like something I’d like to play with...

decisions, decisions, first-world decisions....

If I buy this, how many SACDs from the library do I have to rip before my frugal soul is placated?

The DXD sounds superb!

The DXD sounds superb!

I’m intrigued! What device do you use for playback, or do you down convert?

 

[mkt]

My DAC does not do DXD, so Roon downsamples

PS. Updating my list of library SACDs to rip.

I’m intrigued! What device do you use for playback, or do you down convert?

Jriver server to exaSound s88 to amps/speakers. No downsampling unless I choose otherwise.

ImportCD will eventually list it as they did her previous IMPEX SACD 'Higher' but with s/h and taxes about the same as Elusive Disc!

Hi

I based in the UK -- I cannot see it for sale via a UK retailer.

If anybody knows of a UK seller -- please could you post the details.

Thank you

I originally posted that CLIQUE [Multi~CH SACD] was available at AmazonUS for $27.46 but upon further 'research' this was for the MQA~CD version ........even though they did list SACD in the same item description. Utterly confusing .....

It looks like Amazon does have an SACD for sale…for $52(!)
