[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 1005008, member: 2475"] No idea what alphabet noodles in the soup. The 2 plus Keith Johnson designed the Pacific Microsonics addac. This was running HDCD. That very Amir, who used to be here and is now often quoted from his controversial measurement site , was at Microsoft at the time. They/he wanted some of the , I dont know, lets call it software stuff (not caring a hoot about sound quality) so bought Pacific Microsonics to kill it.The fact that those dacs are still in the highest name studios and command enormous prices 25 or more years later says it all. 2 of the 3 formed Berkeley Audio Design and carry on the legacy. I have a few HDCDs that over the years I didn't care for. Then I got the Berkeley Mk 3 Dac. On Tidal I over and over listened to one of my all time favourite albums " Neil Young at Massey Hall" It sounds absolutely astonishing. I couldn't figure out why. It is not MQA, not high res,simple 44.1 ,16 bit. but that little blue HDCD light is lit. In Cape Town there is a 15ips tape I made on LPR900 of that album on a Studer . It was taped from that stream. Every single time I have played that tape listeners firmly believed it was the actual analog master tape ( Not that I would be here if I had that!). Not that any of you Diabolical Digital Revolutionaries would actually listen to tape! [/QUOTE]
