192 kHz / 24-bit, 96 kHz / 24-bit PCM – 2xHD Studio Masters
Track 12 – 44.1 kHz / 24-bit PCM, mastered in 192 kHz / 24-bit and 96 kHz / 24-bit. Compilation: André Perry, René Laflamme 2xHD mastering: René Laflamme 2xHD Executive Producer: André Perry Album Cover artwork: André Perry Graphics: Sylvie Labelle This album was mastered using our 2xHD proprietary system. In order to achieve the most accurate reproduction of the original recording we tailor our process spe- cifically for each project, using a selection from our pool of state-of-the-art audio- phile components and connectors. The process begins with a transfer to analog from the original DXD, or 24bits/96kHz resolution, or analog master – whatever the case may be. The analog signal is then sent through a hi-end tube pre-amplifier before being recorded directly in DXD using the dCS905 A/D and the dCS Vivaldi Clock. All connections used in the process are made of OCC silver cable. DSD and 192kHz/24Bit versions are separately generated, directly from the analog signal.
