Recorded: at the Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, England on 14th June 2011 (tracks 1-3), and on 26th and 27th October 2010 (tracks 4-7).

This album was mastered using 2xHD's proprietary system. In order to achieve the most accurate reproduction of the original recording they tailor their process specifically for each project, using a selection from their pool of state-of-the-art audiophile components and connectors. The process begins with a transfer to analog from the original 96kHz/24-bit resolution master, using cutting edge D/A converters. The analog signal is then sent through a hi-end tube preamplifier 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.

Sounds like snake oil. Naxos started with a high quality PCM 24bit 96KHz recording, converted to analogue (potential addition of noise), then resaved the audio as DSD (a 20 bit format with a huge amount of high freqency noise). No remastering took place. You cannot edit DSD because it is a sucky 2-bit format.

Despite what cashed up, brainless audiophiles believe, converting to DSD doesn't magically improve audio; it degrades it if you start with a proper PCM studio master.
