Jenna & Alex: Live in DSD 128 Over The Internet

[bmoura]

As a follow-up to the recent Live Concert in Stereo DSD 5.6 MHz (DSD 128) broadcast on the Internet in April with singer Jenna Mammina and guitarist Alex de Grassi, PrimeSeat and Blue Coast Music have released an On-Demand edition of the full hour long concert. If you have a DSD 128 DAC, you can play the concert in DSD Stereo at that resolution level. It's also playable at 2.8 MHz (DSD 64) with a DSD 64 DAC and in PCM over regular PC speakers.

Also available, DSD Stereo editions of the recording (up to DSD 256) made at the Live Concert held at Skywalker Studio in Marin in DSD Downloads from Blue Coast Music's web site.

Playing the On Demand Concert on the Merging Technologies NADAC in my audio system, the quality of the music from the Internet is pretty amazing.

If you own a DSD DAC, especially one that has DSD 128, be sure to check out this Free DSD Concert - and the earlier On Demand Performance "Live at the Fenix".

It sounds pretty amazing in Stereo DSD 128.
Hard to believe this is coming from a server in Japan to your audio system and DAC!

Thanks for the great report Brian. For once, someone trying to improve the sound, rather than reduce it to the LCD. With this ability, it still seems like MQA is DOA.

Thanks. PrimeSeat brings some very high quality listening to the world of streaming. As one listener said to me yesterday "very smooth" !

How fast of a broadband internet connection do you need for this to work properly with no buffering?

I'm using a Comcast Cable Internet connection here. No buffering at either DSD bit rate on Live at The Fenix.
Occasional buffering at 5.6, no buiffering at 2.8 on Live with Alex and Jenna.

What is your connection speed Brian?

What is your connection speed Brian?

Speed Test says the speed here is 25 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps upstream.
Not as fast as Verizon FIOS or Google Fiber but still pretty respectable.
