Yes and a whole lot of formats it is. Wonder if it really is necessary to have;
352 DXD, which is PCM if I understand it correctly, and 352 flac as well as 256 DSD? On the other hand probably the market demands it.

Sound Liaison clearly states that it was mastered directly in 352kHz DXD which they strongly feel sounds best (although it's nearly 6GB in size!) with other formats being conversions. When you select DXD or their other PCM formats you get uncompressed WAV files, while the FLAC files are relatively smaller in size since they are (losslessly) compressed. For those who may prefer DSD in theory or preference with a given DAC they are offered as well, but if your DAC supports DXD and you have the hard drive space the original DXD files are believed to provide the ultimate quality.

Oh baby. In any format, it's too good.

Well a friend of mine has 32gb multi channel files, so I guess i can live with 6

The new carmen Gomes is awesome.

[robfine]

Yes it is, in WAV as well.

Wow - listening to the new Gillian Welch > Harrow and the Harvest, and it's an amazing recording. Scary good - sends shivers down my spine it's so well recorded. As if they are here with me.
