This album is very famous internationally. Its Super Audio CD (SACD) version was used as a “SACD Test” by Philips in recognition of the album’s sound quality of recording and artistic quality.

All selections on the album are brought to you in perfect “Fonè style” by Giulio Cesare Ricci. The tracks use his legendary Neumann U47, U48, M49 tube microphones in locations with original and natural acoustics such as castle, churches, theaters, historic villas. It was recorded in Stereo DSD on the Pyramix Workstation from Merging Technologies using dCS A/D and D/A converters. A state of the art system with no sound manipulation, no equalization, no reverb, no compression and expansion, but natural sound.

Formerly available as a Stereo Super Audio CD (SACD), and now out of print on SACD, NativeDSD is pleased to bring the Audiophile Trip DSD sampler to you for your listening enjoyment.
