MAonSA Hybrid SACD 超級測試天碟

This is an eclectic mix of music all well recorded, there is Jazz, early music on original instruments, solo and chamber classical music, world music and music that does not fit any pigeon hole. The recordings are all from high-resolution 24 Bit PCM masters see titles below for sampling frequency. They were recorded in True stereo using two only omni directional microphones and Crystal Cable microphone and interconnect cable.

For example string instruments on the CD layer I hear close to accurate tone, that is not threadbare or strident as other CDs. However on the DSD layer you hear the bow hitting the string, the resin flying as well as a more realist portrayal of the tone and the space surrounding the instruments. Bass has presence and more importantly warmth on the CD layer. As the music is different I was unable to compare the same music, this is a genral overall impression.

I shall be revisiting the SACD layer frequently, though I have no urge to hear the CD layer again, so for me it is still an amazing bargain for the 1 hour and 48 minutes of high resolution 2 channel music on the SACD layer.

This has been an informational and general impression review and it that it is one my longest reviews ever. I do want to say the music from thess 32 full unedited selections is superb but I will leave to others to review the wonderful music on this SACD, which has my highest recommendation.
