One Deep River (2024) by Mark Knopfler - His new one released today and it was well worth the wait. This is the 16/44.1 version as the 24/192 hasn't synced with roon yet, shouldn't be long and then I'll make that one the default. It has all the traits of his (fairly) recent stuff, it's a sort of sleepy British folk rock with a strong twist of country and western. The tone of his guitars is god tier, really rich and smooth and although he doesn't have the greatest voice I could listen to him singing the phone book. The Schiit stack was connected up for this as I was more interested in tone and timbre than out and out detail and it's nicely balanced with the highly detailed HD800S, it's a very nice pairing for this kind of music.
