Posts: 6

Post by cocopc September 5, 2005 (1 of 6)
Which of the MILES DAVIS - MILESTONES SACD version has got the best sound?

1: SACD MILES DAVIS - MILESTONES released 1997 (Sony Mastersound Reissue Series 20-bit, SRCS 9103)

2: SACD MILES DAVIS - MILESTONES+3 released 2000 (Sony Mastersound 2000 Reissue Series 1-bit, SRCS 9726)

3: SACD MILES DAVIS - MILESTONES+4 released June 22 2005 (Sony Mastersound Reissue Series 1-bit, SICP 812)

I hope you can help me!

Hi cocopc,

These all seem to be CDs and not SACDs (2 and 3 being DSD-remasrered). I've read many reports saying that the DSD-remastered Miles Davis discs are the best sounding *CD* versions.

Edit: *m*any reports"

You're right. I've just obtained new information that the only SACD version which exists of MILESTONES is the:

Milestones +3 (SRGS 4585)- Sony Super Audio CD Series (1-bit DSD SACDs in paper sleeves) released 5/9/2001.

Ergo the only exists this one SACD version.

I have also entered a thread about MILES DAVIS - Kind of blue, concerning the soundquality of the different SACD versions of this album. Can you help me out there?


Thanks for your help.
Best Regard

Can you clerify for me: I fought that only SACD was recorded uses DSD technology, but it seems that some CD's are also recorded using DSD???

DSD was used for digitizing the analog tapes. This DSD signal can be transferred to SACD or converted to PCM for CD release. The CD contains a 16bit/44hHz PCM signal of course, but the remastering was done in DSD. Just like many current CD reissues are remastered in 24bit/96kHz PCM.

Sony uses DSD as their archiving format, so many recent CD reissues are sourced from DSD transfers of the analog tapes.

Thank you for the answer.
