Reference Recordings HRx Stunning Recordings
Yesterday saw over 30 BAAS members auditioning the stunning new library of high resolution (24/176) recordings based on the Reference Recordings (RR) master tapes.
The ‘BAAS Sessions’ represent the first public demonstration of the recordings and the recommended hardware to play them (based on a PC Sound card). As such, they went beyond the various previews at CES.
A clear highlight of the day was the opportunity to do back-to-back comparisons of ‘CD quality’ (16/44) to HRx. To my ear, the difference was rather obvious, akin to the difference between 192 bps MP3 and CD. And that says a lot.
