K.333, 475, and 457. Fine playing and very realistic sound on this SACD box set on the Iso-Mike label. From their site: "IsoMike™ (Isolated Microphones) is an experimental acoustic baffle system, to address the interference of intrachannel sounds that results in compromised fidelity. For these 4-channel recordings, the microphones were suspended on four arms, separated by IsoMike™ baffles. Most baffles absorb sound from mid- to high-range frequencies; lower frequencies are more difficult to absorb. Here, the unique shapes of the IsoMike™ baffles are advantageous. As lower frequencies flow around the heart- or egg-shaped baffles, they are scattered, effectively dissipating their energy. Eliminating line-of-sight between the microphones seems to lower some fidelity robbing cancellations, this reveals a layer of extreme detail and a sense of increased sensitivity. As such we took great care, therefore, to reduce the noise level within the auditorium during the recordings."
It looks a little funky, but it certainly produces great results!

Nope. Physical disc only as far as I can determine.Is this available in Qobuz?
I can't find it with roon
Quartet No.2. The playing and sound are excellent on DSD256 download.
Perhaps you would care to offer an update on your experience with the Iso-Mike Chopin recording on vinyl and DSD64.
Though I'm sure you bought the 256 download after we talked. That a vinyl release from them existed was interesting, to me at least.
I'd say the DSD version has firmer bass and is more dynamic. Had it been a lower res PCM recording, I'm sure the LP would sound better.
That one I found on Qobuz in 192/24 and I liked what I heard, thanks
Enrique Granados performing Goyescas and Spanish Dances No. 10 recorded on a Vorsetzer piano roll.
This is too minimalist for my taste--I should have known better since I detest minimalism. I've read so many glowing reviews...yes, the playing and sound are great, but for me, it's much ado about nothing. Qobuz makes it easy to remove from one's library!
Op.109-111 in wonderful performances and sound--back when Pentatone still recorded using DSD technology.
Just now listening to this in DSD128. I like it a lot
I want to catch up in this thread from the very beginning
