Listening to a very mellow jazz album by Jenny Maybee and Nick Philips called "Haiku". The album was recorded live directly to quad rate DSD which is much higher resolution than a CD. This recording technique is very difficult to do as it must be done totally live using only an analog mixing board. There are no overdubs or tracking that can be done. The audio quality is amazing. The album features Jenny Maybee on vocal and piano, Nick Philips on Trumpet and Paul Eastburn on acoustic bass. The sound floor (lack of background noise) and clean sounds is what you notice right away. Lovely music for a quiet rainy afternoon here in SoCal.
