My wife looked at me blankly and asked "When are you going to play the 'other' version?" when I a/b'ed a track for her, so maybe the difference is more-easily detected by musicians/DAW audio gear enthusiasts.  To my ears, there's a really nice resolution at 24 bits BUT I found the flac files a bit untenable to work with because you can't put 'em on a CD without losing that resonance (well, I sure don't know how to, at any rate).  I've done wave comparisons between the 24 and 16 ...]]> Fri, 05 Nov 2010 06:02:53 +0000 alexbunardzic on The Beatles in high resolution http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/the-beatles-in-high-resolution/#p14454 Recording and musicology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/the-beatles-in-high-resolution/#p14454 EyesofBlue said:


<fist bump!>  Yep--amazing--sounds like brand new recordings to my ears!  It's like seeing a restored oil-painting masterpiece where all the colors and background come alive again as they first intended to be.  The clarity and depth on the recordings is magnificent.  And to think I was worried the remaster engineers were gonna really f*ck 'em up with too much tweaking.......I am equally blown-away by them.....

Completely agree. I just love how tiny little details, that remain undetectable on the CDs, are now so obvious. Especially the way Ringo's cymbals now, for the first time, ...]]> Thu, 04 Nov 2010 17:19:05 +0000 alexbunardzic on The Beatles in high resolution http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/the-beatles-in-high-resolution/#p14453 Recording and musicology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/the-beatles-in-high-resolution/#p14453 mithveaen said:

Ohhh so they're worth getting!! That's interesting. Now your stereo system sounds like something that is used at NASA. a-hard-days-night-ringo-8

Yeah, it looks complicated on paper, but in real life it sounds unbelievable. I've just listened to "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey", and by golly, I had a feeling that the lads were right there, with me in my room! Paul's bass never before sounded so muscular, so warm, deep and powerful (he was rocking the house!), while George's guitar in the right speaker carried so much energy, ...]]> Thu, 04 Nov 2010 17:13:34 +0000 mithveaen on The Beatles in high resolution http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/the-beatles-in-high-resolution/#p14431 Recording and musicology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/the-beatles-in-high-resolution/#p14431 Ohhh so they're worth getting!!

I was wondering that too.

What sort of audio system are you using, Alex?

Yes, I'm talking about the 24 bit FLACs that Apple is selling on the USB.

 

My system consists of: iMac running the Squeezebox Center into Logitech Squeezebox Touch as digital transport into Beresford Caiman DAC (via digital coax cable), into DSP 200s preamp into DPA 200s power amp into the pair of Magnepane planar speakers.

I have recently upgraded my audio system, and now that I'm making forays into the world of high definition (or, high resolution) music (24 bit 96 kHz), I was curious to hear the remastered Beatles catalog dithered down from the originally converted 32 bit format to the 24 bit format.

 

To cut the long story short, I'm blown away! On my system these hi rez masters sound much better than their 2009 16 bit CD rips.
