A NOTE FROM HENRY KAISER:
This installment of Yo Miles was recorded directly to a stereo DSD recorder as the band played live in the studio in a similar fashion to the way Miles recorded to stereo or three track analog tape in the past. DSD, or Direct Stream Digital is a new recording technology from SONY utilizing high speed (2.8MHz) 1 bit sigma delta as the recording format. It is the closest recording and playback technology to analog tape available today. In fact it was developed as an archiving medium for analog recordings. We also recorded this music with a Studer 1/2” analog two-track machine. EVERYONE who listened to both recoding formats in many blindfold tests preferred th DSD recording to the analog for its amazing depth, imaging and greater detail. This Hybrid Super Audio CD contains two layers. One layer can be played on any CD player as a normal CD, while the other can be played on Super Audio CD players based on DSD technology for a very realistic and analog-like playback experience akin to having an analog master recorder in your home. We hope this new technology will bring you closer to the music. If you don’t have an SACD player, I would like to suggest that you go out an get one. I am sure that you can pick up something on on-line auction site or from a discount supplier for less than $300, or perhaps even less than $200, by the time you read this. Check it out - this is a technology that needs to be supported by more users.
