Well, not to get off track (I DO love the Stones), but my question is whether there may be something endemic to the DSD process which results in listener fatigue such as I have often heard when playing dual layer SACDs on my redbook player.
SACD on Redbook Player
I recently purchased three dual layer Rolling Stones remasters (Let it Bleed, Beggar's Banquet and Hot Rocks) for listening on my redbook player (a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 3D). Quite frankly, I was extremely disappointed with the sound on the CD layer ... Mick's vocals are virtually buried while the instruments are way forward and overly detailed to the point of being fatiguing. I've heard other dual layer SACDs (both vocals and instrumentals) and have had the same reaction. At first, I thought it was the mastering, but I'm beginning to wonder whether there may be something endemic to the DSD process which results in such listener fatigue.
Has anyone had a similar reaction?
