I remember a few years ago we had people over just to watch movies and they would b**ch that it was an LD and
whenever I had conversations with the husband about films and would say I have that film you never saw
he would ask and then I would say its on LD and he would roll his eyes.

I just want to enjoy what I own and then my life rather than spending my life with multiple versions to compare.

3/ Play the down-sampled audio via uPnp for convenience. I can drag'n'drop a few hours of music ahead, no need to keep swapping discs or choosing the next album folder to play, but no multi-channel.


I should have read the uPnP Foobar2000 documentation better. Was using "default" profile that's defaulting to CD quality.

Created an "OPPO UDP-205" profile and now hi-res FLAC stream as expected:

Code: Select all
foo_upnp: opened 'Hi-Res\Parcels\Parcels\01-02-Parcels-Lightenup-SMR.flac' for streaming, profile: OPPO UDP-205, WAV / 96000 Hz / 24 bits / 2 channels, replaygain: off, DSP chain: off


SACD will be turned into 192Khz/24-bit:

Code: Select all
foo_upnp: opened 'SACD\BILL WITHERS - Bill Withers' Greatest Hits [MFSL UDSACD 2155]\07 - BILL WITHERS - Lean On Me.dsf' for streaming, profile: OPPO UDP-205, WAV / 192000 Hz / 24 bits / 2 channels, replaygain: off, DSP chain: off

Turns out some of them resurfaced (from SONY's vault?) recently.

Ex: Jaco Pastorius / Jaco Pastorius - [ESGA-501]


And they are now sold out.

Yeah, the old black OBI releases are highly sought after, but only if they've never been reissued on SACD, or people blow smoke about the remaster (see also: Thriller). I have a few, some of them being DSD recordings (one of them being SVWG-7069, or the symphonic recording of Dragon Quest VII) and one a remaster (Caravanserai, SRGS 4524). Honestly, they sound great, but not hundreds of dollars great. Take Wham's "Make It Big" for example, that one is one of the worst ones I've seen for pricing, right up there with Thriller.

It's absolutely insane, but that seems to be the market for any niche hobby anymore. Some jerk thinks he's got a disc worth 10x its weight in gold and then everyone does.
