I'm surprised, because Stanley Lipshitz is one of the most famous names in digital audio - it was he that first wrote the paper on dithering, for example. He is a very respected man in the industry. It's the equivalent of saying you have never heard of Alan Blumlein.

Since I can't deliver the DSD, I haven't bothered to listen to that output from Korg. |
Not saying that the Korg is,t good in itself (though some have commented on the noisy mic. pres.), just that 1-bit recording seems fundamentally flawed.

Good luck with the tour; I hope you like the mics and you'll love Austria - it's a wonderful country - I drive through it several times a year as I have a house near Vienna.
