Been spinning lots of Bruno Mars this week, culminating with the wife and I catching his gig live; absolutely brilliant super high-energy gig.

Boz Scaggs: Fade Into Light
Virgin - 7th December 1999
16/44.1

It’s hard for me to believe that this album was released at the end of the last century!
To my ears, the RQ/SQ and, importantly, Mastering by Bernie Grundman, are so contemporary…

I’ve listened to it countless times, and still love it!

I like the cover art from Roon. That D’Angelico is huge! I bet he could put it between his legs and play it with a bow.

Homeland: Judith Jauregui, Piano.
Edvard Grieg: Piano Concerto in A minor &
Manuel de Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain
Kaspar Zehnder, Orchestra Sinfonica de Castilla Y Leon
Eudora - NativeDSD exclusive early release (I believe that the release date is 12th April)
DSD 256 (original recording format)

As there are an increasing number of recordings being done in DSD 256 nowadays, I hope that dCS will soon give us the ability to play them, without having to downsample to DSD 128 (in Roon, in my case).

There is a 30% discount offer available (for a limited time), as per this Positive Feedback review/article;
