In Reply to: When BIS released this SACD.... posted by krisjan on September 3, 2014 at 13:50:37:
I am not convinced that the newer BIS recordings at higher sample rates sound much better than many of the older ones. I think it may be the use of second tier converters and mic preamps (RME mic preamps and converters on the Sibelius 2/5 release at 96/24).
I have a large collection of BIS downloads from eclassical. I would say that most of these have good sound, recordings that have not been screwed up. However, sound quality is not the strength of the label. The strength is the breadth of music and artists at reasonable prices. (Even more than reasonable if one buys from eclassical.com on sale.) Other labels, such as Channel Classics, have far superior sound than BIS, but a limited catalog and higher prices.
