Hi ted_b, thanx for replying to my post. Obviously this is a misunderstanding. Both "DSD 1bit 2.8224MHz Stereo" and "FLAC 16bit 44.1kHz Stereo" / "FLAC 24bit 96kHz Stereo" versions contain the COMPLETE SET OF ALL 3 SACD discs (we will update the display of the Complete Album section for this album during the next hour). http://www.cybele.de/hans-werner-henze-und-das-requiem So 22 Euro is quite cheap, I think - even if you don't need part 2 and part 3 (to be inside the complete download). And you don't need to pay 50 Euro (I don't understand how you calculated these 50 Euros) because for 22 Euro you'll get all three discs included. And if you are a customer outside Germany and outside Europe you'll get every album 19% cheaper because outside Europe we will not charge any VAT to customers. So 22 Euro minus 19% VAT = 19,24 Euro for 3SACD set (as DSD downloads) is a good deal, isn't it? Regards Ingo

P.S.: You can always switch to your native language by clicking on the dropdown on top of the site (called "Sprache auswählen" - will be renamed soon to "Choose language").

Hi ted_b, as these DSD and FLAC downloads are (and will be) always a precise 1:1 copy of the existing SACD releases we could only offer to all english speaking people to give them a 5 Euro shopping voucher code if they ordered such a 3SACD set in case it contains more than 50% German spoken voice parts. In case you want to buy such an 3SACD set first create an account @ www.cybele.de, order the desired album and inform us about your language by replying to the order/invoice Email which you will receive after having successfully created your account / after having placed your order... Then we will be able to create this 5 Euro shopping voucher for you Cheers Ingo

Hi @ all, it was obviously a minor important misunderstanding. Let's change to major things - for example listening to fine DSD download files.... Have a nice week-end! Ingo

Hi ted_b, I just replied to your question "(Not sure how this is done, probably foobar plugin??)" in the last post because it seemed to me that it was not clear how the playback of our dff samples works. As I already mentioned - of course our dsd files are ScarletBook .dff files which are all compliant with any DSD hardware / software. I think our misunderstanding is that I wanted to explain that www.playbackdesigns.com is able to playback 5.1 ch files as well in native DSD (and not only DSD stereo files), as far as I know - which is quite innovative on the market, I think. Happy listening Ingo

Hi Ted_b, yes, you're right. You may listen to EVERY DSD track of our whole catalogue (which is completely available as DSD downloads) in pure DSD quality for 20 seconds. You can either playback the samples by using foobar2000 or any other software / hardware which is able to playback native DSD files. For example the www.playbackdesigns.com DAC can do. It is able to playback native DSD files up to 5.1 channel surround sound. So nobody has to wait any more for native 5.1 DSD file playback hardware. I write this because I just read a post here in the forum which said that everybody would wait for such hardware playback possibilities... So it's only a question of your selected hardware / software to which you assign(ed) our ".dff" file samples..... Have fun listening to them and maybe you'll distribute these news to everybody who might be interested in these innovative features on our site. All the best, have a nice day Ingo
