Ralf11 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 URL gives $70 as the price for the trifecta Link to comment
KDinsmore Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Unfortunately I won't be able to report back on the surround. I'll have this ripped to file for Stereo (and surround for future use). Instead of downloading releases I try and buy them if available on SACD so I own the disc and if I want can sell it if I don't like it (of course after deleting the file.). Same goes for any other releases. Bought the Allman Brothers extended Fillmore set on Blu-ray instead of the download.

The next question is which music download sites will be carrying the Lotus: Complete Edition DSD 11.2 MHz and DSD 2.8 MHz downloads on April 19. No word on that from Sony Japan so far.

I asked Mr. Suzuki, a recording engineer of original and remastering. In his reply posted on his Facebook page, he said "Not determined yet so far though I suppose e-onkyo or mora." Link to comment
Bunpei Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 His Facebook page shows some interesting pictures of the remastering studio. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=387314388314555&id=100011079909221&pnref=story Solstice380 1 Link to comment

bmoura Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 I see that the Stereo DSD 11.2 MHz download edition of Lotus Legend (Complete Edition) is now available at eOnkyo Music http://www.e-onkyo.com/music/album/smj4547366308426/ Link to comment
Solstice380 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Only the 5.6 currently sows at mora.jp. Thanks for the heads up on eOnkyo! One really has to want it a lot at US$91. Yikes! Maybe the 5.6 at US$63 will have to do. That is about what I paid for the Japanese CDs a few years ago. https://audiophilestyle.com/profile/21384-solstice380/?tab=field_core_pfield_3 Link to comment

Hmm, when I looked at Mora.Jp they only had the 2.8 MHz on DSD. http://mora.jp/package/43000001/4547366308297/ Sony Japan hasn't announced a 5.6 MHz version. How did Mora.Jp get that ?

Popular Post bmoura Posted April 18, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2017 I just received the Surround Sound SACD of Lotus Complete Edition from CD Japan. Great to have this concert recording in 4 Channel Discrete Sound at last. Another fine job from the Sony Music Japan team. http://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/santana-lotus-complete-edition/ MikeyFresh and Solstice380 2 Link to comment

How did Mora.Jp get that ? Mora.jp now indicates they will offer the 11.2 MHz version at the end of July, so it looks like e-Onkyo got a 3 month exclusive. Has anyone managed to get around the region restrictions using a VPN? Are the region restrictions title specific, or are these Japanese download sites prohibited in general from serving the North American market?

Now I need a swift pass through customs, and get it on a truck for the local P.O. at which point it might get delivered Friday, but much more likely Saturday if past USPS efficiency/performance is any indicator. Sometimes it also sits and goes nowhere in U.S. Customs for a day or two or three or four, which unfortunately means delivery next week is also a distinct possibility.

MikeyFresh Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Turns out my USPS efficiency pessimism was entirely unwarranted (this time anyway), they tied my all-time record for CDJapan delivery door to door in NY, 4 days total and I have it in-hand with today's noontime postal delivery!
