When STEREO Phono-Festival was released in late 2015, enthusiasm for analogue music reproduction exploded. To experience 16 turntables of all price and performance classes, including many STEREO test devices, on CD, SACD or high-bit files in the best possible sound quality of the format, was a revelation. Each turntable demonstrated a musical highlight from current productions as well as titles with an audiophile history made popular at HiFi fairs. In this respect, the STEREO Phono-Festival also contributes to the preservation and promotion of the audiophile culture.
No wonder listeners demanded a second volume, which has the same concept and is now available in this double-disc box. It once again delivers 16 digital recordings of turntables, ranging from entry-level to the dream device. The music is available in the highest quality of all three formats. The hybrid SACD runs on every CD and SACD player, with the SACD's DSD data stream coming closest to the high-resolution original PCM source file in 24-bit / 192 kilohertz. A DVD-R offers playback for Phono Festival via the computer. These are the native, completely untreated WAV files of the recordings except for minimal level adjustments. They can be streamed over the network or played directly from the computer in the original uncut quality. For the CD, the high-bit files were scaled down to their format of 16 bit / 44.1 kHz or converted into the DSD format for the SACD layer as a 2.8 megahertz bitstream.
