The latest issue of Japanese magazine for professional recording engineers, "PROSOUND" Stereo Sound STORE / PROSOUND 2015 (this web page is in Japanese language) includes a DVD that contains six audio source files in six different formats, PCM 48kHz/16bit, 96kHz/24bit, 192kHz/24bit, 384kHz/32bit(float), DSD 5.6MHz and DSD 11.2MHz for a single play of "Orfeu Negro" by a Japanese trio, sax.: Y. Tomakomachi, piano: M. Ishizuka & Percussion: S. Ishikawa. A recording engineer is Mr. H. Takada of Victor Entertainment, a chairman of technical committee of Japan Association of Professional Recording Studios (JAPRS). Those files were prepared by capturing an identical analog output signal of API console of CR-506 studio of NHK(Nippon Hoso Kyokai: Japan Broadcasting Corporation) with six DAWs, Avid ProTools for PCM 48kHz, 96kHz, 192 kHz and Merging Pyramix/Horus for 384kHz/32bit, DSD 5.6MHz, DSD 11.2MHz simultaneously.
They say their purpose of the release of the sources is to provide "a kind of reference standard sources" for professional engineers to recognize actual differences on sound characteristic depending on formats. The recording was done in a joint technical seminar of NHK and JAPRS.
I think the six source files reflect the differences well. In other words, the highest resolution files of 384kHz/32bit(float) and DSD 11.2MHz make us recognize well enough an advantage of high-resolution recording.
If you are interested in plays of high-resolution sources, I'd like to recommend the sources. The publisher of the magazine offers an oversea shipping. You can order a single issue from the web page shown above.
