I was looking for the Everest disc with Tossy Spivakovsky and came across this remaster in 192/24  and thought it might be interesting for the discussion.Dont know if the CD version included is as good as the original Everest but it might make for a possible comparison between CD and DVD-A http://www.elusivedisc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HDAD2030

Thanks, perrew

I am a big fin of Tossy Spivakovsky and this play of Sibelius is very very good. I wish they release his Tchaikovsky concerto as well.  However, what they released it looks like DVD-A format.  The DVD-A is very much not the same as 24/192 raw files.  As I understand in order to get 24/192 uncompressed file from DVD-A it need to be a special conversion made. I am not sure and I do not do DVD-A, but as I understand the DVD-A relates to 24 bit files as Red Book CD relates to 16/44.

If you take a row 16/44 file, juts after you’re A/D – it has the 16/44 limitation but in most cases it is a very good file. Now try to put in CD format. I have been trying to do it for years – it is implosive and as soon the file being render into CD format then a lot of sound get “lost”. I think the same might happen when people render 24/192 raw files into   DVD-A media.

I personally am a supporter of data files not the files in any kind audio format. Probably I need to make call to them and to ask if the DVD that they sell has the uncompressed 24/192 raw files, I doubt it will. I would not mention that the very same “CLASSIC RECORDS” company that clams the “revolutionary sound” at DVD-A had flooded market with horribly sounding remastered LPs. I might be wrong in my skepticism about Tossy’s re-release, probably I need to try, I juts need to learn how to get data files out of the DVD-A. I hope the transfer of Tossy’s tapes to 24/192 was made not by the very same idiots who transferred the tapes to make the SACDs and the idiotic 180Gr records.
