Well, I placed an order. Fingers crossed that it's not too compressed.

Is the one available on Apple Music not binaural?

Well im listening to this via my Mojo and i can hear hiss on every song and the title song is the worst one ever 'Little Crimes'. Now I am not sure what I am actually hearing but it is 'noise' in the background all the same. Just not right unless this is all from the studio or something.
My set up is iPhone 6S+, Onkyo HF app with HD pack, output is 192khz PCM into Mojo. Mojo confirms 192khz files, into Shure SE425 IEM.
This is very stange as I dont hear anything normally through Mojo or the SE425's, the background from Mojo is just so so silent it is unreal.
Like crazy good. So the song is now 'Hallelujah' and it started with 'hiss' but then quieted part way through. Hmmmm. Not sure what I am hearing. LOL

You're hearing the rain on the roof, as the first post mentioned you would.

[COLOR=FF0000]Audiophile listeners have the added benefit of testing the accuracy of their systems, as little crimes subtly displays the rain falling on the roof of the Greenpoint church, adding to the overall ambience of the album.[/COLOR]

I can clearly hear it from the Mojo to the ETHER C. It isn't the typical noise floor in a poorly recorded/produced track. There are small 'hits' of drips within the white noise that clearly, to me, does sound like rain noise. Chesky records with a dummy head with two mikes with minimal post production so what they record on the day is mostly what you get.

Beautiful album by the way.

I heard the rain in the videos at the top. I haven't heard the actual album yet. The sound was clearly distinguishable as rain with my GO V2 and an inexpensive set of IEMs, the 1MORE EO323.

Yeah I am embarrassed! I read that when I bought it ages ago too in the offer. Oops!
On another note, I can hear rain! Lol. :thumbsup_tone1:
At least I have the benefit of a good playback quality, etc.
Thanks for posting.

Absolutely no issues regarding DR to my ears.

Do you mind posting DR numbers for me? I'm on vacation so I can't see it right now

 

[RPB65]

A stunning album. What a place to record it and what an atmosphere. Brilliant.

Sorry, I'm running Mac with Audirvana+ and don't have any DR analyzing software. I was just saying 'to my ears' I hear no issue at all with DR.
