What about this??
SUPER DUPER ANNOUNCEMENT : We are very excited to offer a new audio format for the two channel enthusiast (the last and best 2 channel format?!?). We will be doing live two channel recordings using a custom modded battery powered double speed DSD recorder (5.6Mhz sampling frequency....twice that of SACD). We will be selling battery powered playback systems and will be distributing our recordings for playback on these modified machines.....these machines will be identical to the original recorder and the digital information will not be altered in any way......there will be no optical/laser digital path for purest sound. Imagine double speed DSD master tapes played on a battery powered modified player directly into your amps.....this will be better than any $100,000 turntable system.....The mics will be custom modified and hardwired directly into the recorder (no connectors). We will have more information as we go. I expect release of the modded recorder/playback system with software sometime in October. Music will be varied.....all types except symphonies.....which will be too expensive to record (at least for now). The fully modded playback system is targeted around $1500 and the software around $25 per release....absolutely no limiting, roll-off filters, copy protection, etc....you will get the pure raw double speed DSD data that was originally recorded....... We are talking super transparency and super dynamics.....This has never happened in the history of recorded music. No one besides the original recordists and a few friends have even had access to original master tapes. If you have ever heard even a copy of an analog master tape or have heard some DSD demos (like Ray Kimber's) then you have an idea of how incredible this will be.
Since this machine can also play all PCM formats up to 24/192 then the hard drive on the machine can also be loaded with up to 60 hours of CD quality music....or 24/96 DADs or DVD-A material....whatever......and having it played back on a hard drive based battery powered super modded machine may actually sound better than most any CD playback system.....And also you can record your own music on it and transfer records to double speed DSD or 24/192 for archiving and preserving your old vinyl and......even has a headphone amp.....salivating yet?!? stay tuned!!!
We are also going to make one off CDs, DVDs (at 24/96) and DVDAs (24/192) available of all the recordings. Some people will not want to buy the hard drive master player but will still want to hear these incredible recordings on their players. We will be distributing a few hundred free samplers of the first recordings on CDR and DVD in a few months. Email me if you want one. You can also make copies of this initial sampler for your friends and people in your audio clubs, etc
