Album of the Evening

Sure, be glad too. However, to get a complete feel for the genre, you'll need important works from both Country AND Western... ? -
Article: Peachtree Audio nova150 Review
Sir Real B. Czar replied to The Computer Audiophile's topic in Article Comments
Love Peachtree Audio, and am enjoying the original Nova (redwood) connected to an iMac 14,2 via the X1 USB to coax for 24/96. Would like to see a true walnut version to replace my current set up (which feeds an antiquated Technics SA-5070 receiver into a pair of even older X-45 Jensne 6.5" bookshelf speakers) Any suggestions for an external EQ loop (because that just has to be done...). -

Simply one of the most stunning and under-rated artist of the late 20th century. Her voice and delivery have yet to be matched by any of the other so-called "Pop-Divas". A true treasure if you can find the time and right equipment to experience her range. Don't say I didn't warn you.... -

I am enjoying this Tidal Sampler in-glorious 16/44.1, which brings me back to the mid 70's and my Dad's Sansui quad blowing out Blowing in the Wind. At 73 he is still a hard-dyed Dylan fan, and I inherited the crumbs of that "Desire". Revisiting "Highway 61 Revisited" bangs the drum in my conundrum of childhood bitter-angst...."how could someone who sang so bad sound so good?" while at the same time being wooed by the smoothness of Reg Dwight's "Tumbleweed". "How does this happen? And why does that old fellow follow Dylan with another Mad-Dog named Cocker?" Many decades and flavors of music later, all I can say is 'Thanks, Dad'. (and I think I know what Santa will drop on you this season.....) -

Very dangerous combo there. (And by that, I mean the raw eggs and apples....;-) This seemed to be the warmup to Olé, or Olé was the cool-down to this....either way, it also features myMan Freddie Hubbard from his most (to me) prolific period. Good call. -
...you're not holding it right. ;-)

Where did you buy the DSD file? And which mix is it? -
Album of the Evening
Sir Real B. Czar replied to The Computer Audiophile's topic in Music in General
Concierto This album just....literally, hits all the right notes. Whether it's Hall and Hanna, Baker and Desmond, Gadd and Carter, or any mix of the six. What an incredible selfless collection of musicians. I've heard all play with others but never in a setting like this (save for maybe Gadd with Carter), and I am simply in awe of Paul Desmond's work here, which seems to lift both Hanna and Baker's playing, almost to the point of forgetting it's a Jim Hall record. -
Glenn Gould Remastered: The Complete Columbia Album Collection
Sir Real B. Czar replied to hdls's topic in Music in General
No surprise here that Gould got remastered. If I heard him say it once, I heard it fifty times- "I'll be Bach..." -
Recommendation on stand-mounted speakers for the living room

I'll not insert the 'knee-jerk' (if you know what I mean...) joke here. -

...or maybe one of the new upcoming colors might 'do the trick'? ;-) Extreme makeover coming soon to KEF LS50 | DAR__KO -
What model Nova is it? The original Nova only handled 16/44.1 through its USB input. If that's what you have, I recommend a USB/SPDIF converter (Peachtree sells one) which will allow 24/96 files to be played over USB with Coax hooked to your Nova. I doubt this will affect the issue at hand, but it will give you better performance in the 'sound' arena.
