HiFi News review with 90% sound quality

Not what I was expecting. A eclectic mix of styles but all very well mastered.
Track 1 could be another title to add to a bass playlist.

This one was brought to my attention by an article over on AS:

This is a long way from the type of music that I would normally listen to, but I have to say I really enjoyed it, and the sound quality is quite extraordinary.  Listening to it was kind of surprising, a sort of "wow, can my system really sound this good?!".

In fact, it sounds superb even from a miserable low bit rate You Tube version, check it out:

@Confused. Did you download the album? I like what I hear, but I’m not sure which format to go for. The D won’t play DXD, will it?
Will it play FLAC 352 kHz?

Edit: I guess going for the higher bit rate versions might be a waste of money since, supposedly, most people can’t tell the difference between low and high quality versions. All the same though, with a recording this good I might feel inclined to go for best quality, just to make sure!

I went for the 24/96 FLAC.  Mindful that I failed at being able to tell the difference between 16/44.1 and 24/96 files in Mark Waldrep's blind test earlier in the year, I have stopped worrying to much about music file bitrates and similar.  It was also 5 Euros cheaper!  So I have saved enough cash for a beer.  It's just a shame the pubs are shut due to lockdown at the moment ....

OK. Thanks for that. I also failed the Mark Waldrep blind test, so this is obviously a well recorded and mastered album.
