Caprichos 2008

CAPRICHOS 2008 is a sampler we have prepared so that you can try audio DVD and DVD audio without going bust before you decide if it is your groove.

We have used tracks from our catalogue which we have upsampled from their original recorded format of 48kHz, 16-bit to 96kHz, 24-bit.

audio DVD you can listen to by plugging your DVD player to your existing Hi-Fi setup, remebering that the higher the quality of the player the better the reproduction you will get.

For listening to DVD audio you will need a special player and these are not so easy to come across. We use and recommend OPPO players which from around 150 USD give a very high standard of reproduction. Nowdays, some cars are incorporating DVD audio players as standard, the only danger, as we see it, being that so much audio beauty may make you forget you are driving and carry you away dreaming!
