Abstract:
With the growing interest in high resolution by the audiophile and general audience and the rapidly growing availability of high resolution content for download on the market, and in relation with the 137th AES convention HRA special event organized with the DEG, we thought mandatory to reiterate our DSD/DXD panel.
As the reality of most extreme resolution productions today is not anymore to ideologically focus on either DSD or PCM, but to choose the most appropriate format based on the production and post-production requirements, as it is been established during the three former workshops, we found more interesting to open this time the discussion to a wider number of panelists to share their experience in this domain, and base the comparison between DSD and DXD on production prerogatives instead of purely sound quality considerations.
Morten Lindberg from 2L, John Newton from Soundmirror, Michael Bishop from Five Four Productions, and Jared Sachs from Channel Classics will be presenting some of their productions and answer to questions about their technical and artistic decisions.
