Economics Business Music Politics Altruism : 192K 24 Bits Linnrecords Mozart Symphony

I have always loved recordings from LinnRecords for their consistent recording and have been buying their SACDs both via internet as well as from retailers. Last night I bought their 192K Studio Master of the above by the late Sir Charles Mackerras conducting the Scottish National Chamber Orchestra and was blown away by it as I seems to be able to turn up the volume and not have the jarring violin and brass. It blew me away....

I compared with the sister recording by the same conductor, orchestra but playing Mozart Symphonies 38, 39, 40, 41 on SACD and certainly there is a difference in the sound.

I am going for 192K to the extend that my finance allows it as it is not cheap as the 192K is USD 27 per CD which is dearer than SACDs.

The equipment I am using for the 192K playback are as follows:

1 .Buffalo NAS Linkstation Quad
2. Gigabit Ethernet
3 .MacMini Core2Duo 2.4 GHz 4GB OSX 10.6.6 iTunes 10.1.1 (AIFF files in 192K 24 Bits)
4. USB Cable-Stock from DAC Box
5. Wyred4Sound DAC2
6. Acrolink 6N-A2200II Interconnect
7. ModWright SWL 9.0 SE Tube Pre-Amp
8. Nanotech Golden Strada #201DCS Interconnect
9. Wyred4Sound Multi-Channel 4 Channel PowerAmp-BiAmp
10. Nanotech Golden Strada #79 Speaker Cables
11. Vandersteen 2ce Mark II speakers

The equipment I am using for the SACD playback are as follows:
