    That Analog Sound

    Here is a very nice reel-to-reel>24-bit/96kHz FLAC transfer.

    Haven't listened to it yet, but that's cool. There's a lot of R2R tape transfers hitting the internet lately, including the whole David Bowie prime period. They've been posting some of them over at Mojave Productions. The pedigree is supposedly old production 15ips R2R tapes, transferred to 24/96 PCM, and then they have been converting to DSD and creating SACD-R images. I play the ISO in foobar and usually convert back to 24-bit @ 88.2K sample rate. I've got a couple samples up at song of the day. Unfortunately, it looks like the sample rate wasn't maintained at 96K for all of the transfers as the spectrum looks closer to CD bandwidth, but they still sound very good. Got some T. Rex too, and a couple others. They indicated at one point they would make the original 24/96 transfers available, but haven't seen it yet. The Ziggy Stardust is the best I've heard. A touch bright like all of the Bowie remasters, but without the ill effects they all have.

    Nice, I'm playing Bowie's Low right now. Fingers crossed for Electric Warrior.

    I looked at the Mojave Productions site. I don't really get why they're converting PCM to DSD. I figure if you have a SACD player you probably also have to the hardware to play hi-res PCM.

    I do use DVD-Audiofile to create DVD-A discs sometimes, but only so I have a non-HDD back up. I almost never use optical discs anymore for playback.

    Dave,

    Are you able to save the transcoded DSD files at 24-bit/88.2kHz with foobar? I am able to play them back that way, but when I try to save them it's 24-bit/44.1kHz.

    Yes, they save in whatever sample rate I have selected in the SACD output tab. You probably have a processor selected to change the sample rate in the convert page.

    Thanks, I got it fixed now. I don't suppose there's any reason to use 176.4 for 24/96-sourced files so I'll stick with 88.2.
