Yes - Close To The Edge -2013- -flac 24-192- ~upd~ [ UHD • 360p ]
The original 1972 stereo mix, handled by Eddy Offord, was a miracle of its time but suffered from "generational loss." Because 24-track tape machines were not yet standard, tracks had to be bounced down, injecting tape hiss and muddying the frequency spectrum. Wilson bypassed these historical limitations by digitizing the raw un-bounced multi-tracks at the highest possible resolution, reconstructing the pan pots, volume levels, and effect sends from scratch in the digital domain. Technical Specifications: FLAC 24-bit/192kHz
FLAC (audiophile downloads) and LPCM (on Blu-ray/DVD-A physical media).
: Think of this as the audio's dynamic range, the difference between the quietest and loudest sounds. Standard CDs use a 16-bit depth, which theoretically provides about 96dB of dynamic range. A 24-bit depth, however, provides a staggering 144dB of dynamic range. This vast increase means that the quietest, most subtle details (like the fade-in of the title track or the ambient noises before "I Get Up, I Get Down") and the loudest, most powerful peaks (like Wakeman's organ or Bruford's drums) are rendered with far greater precision, allowing for a more realistic and immersive listening experience. Yes - Close To The Edge -2013- -FLAC 24-192-
A 24-bit / 96kHz "needle-drop" transfer of an original A1/B1 UK vinyl pressing. Artwork & Notes:
: A four-movement suite based on Hermann Hesse’s novel Siddhartha , blending avant-garde noise, furious jazz-fusion, pipe organs, and celestial vocal harmonies. The original 1972 stereo mix, handled by Eddy
: Unlike MP3s, which discard audio data to reduce file size, FLAC compresses the file without losing a single bit of information. It is bit-perfect to the studio master.
Available on the Blu-ray and DVD-A physical versions, also handled by Wilson, providing a greater sense of space. Additional Content in the 2013 Series : Think of this as the audio's dynamic
What you are using for playback
: A multi-part pastoral folk-rock epic featuring delicate acoustic guitars and soaring Moog synthesizers.
You need a player that supports high-res FLAC.
While the Wilson remixes are often provided at 96kHz, some high-res storefronts like ProStudioMasters offer a 192kHz version.
