I'm guessing opera?

I'd say a good guess...

That must be Wagner.

Gotta respect the roots, but Pink Floyd and Rush are more my speed.

I'll be taking this up in a day or so on my own thread as soon as I recover from a brief period of homelessness resulting from a fire related mandatory evacuation.

I love the ring cycle, which recording is your favorite?

Solti --
 
Kirsten Flagstad and George London make Rheingold unsurpassed, even with Kirsten so past her prime - from there it gets better, even though Beergut Nielson is not my favorite dramatic soprano, although she rises to the occasion for the Ride.  I have two sets of vinyl, as well as the early unremastered CD set, tape hiss and all.  I have seen all four operas once in LA, San Francisco, Bayreuth, and Seattle (the only place with a real bear and fire) twice under Jimmy Levine at the Met (overall, the best).
 
I find it difficult to do a little of anything.

Since the multibit line-up is now complete and you guys are completely committed to multibit tech, is there any sense in keeping DS stuff above Modi MB (Bifrost and Gungnir 4490) ?

Any Mojo owners up for a Moby comparison?

Me too.  Considering the bulk of my knowledge of classical and opera came from watching Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes cartoons as kid.
 
Who can forget "The Rabbit of Seville"...

Now I prefer Multibit - much of that is because I believe audio components' missions are to reproduce music that once existed live in 14.7psi atmosphere, where multibit excels.
 
If your preference is to listen to highly processed pop music, gaming music and effects, or electronic music which never existed in the acoustic medium, then you may indeed view the role of an audio component to have a "sound", "signature", "palette", or "voicing" of its own.  This is one reason we offer delta sigma dacs in our upgradable DACs.  The other is to offer a lower cost starting point at each DAC level, except Yggy.

All good, plus too many others to mention.  It is just if it can reproduce several vocal soloists, three choirs, and a 104 piece orchestra (Mahler's 8th) - then it should really be amazing reproducing either Pink Floyd, Rush, The Who, the Stones, etc., etc., etc.!!

 I agree that live recordings through an MB Dac takes on a whole new life.  Some of the BB King Live Recordings are that much better,  and one of my favorite is an unplugged recordings of some rock bands from the late 90's early 2000's Put together by a local Radio Station and a small recording studio in Connecticut, known mostly to people in the area. Some of the Tracks were really good when I first heard it over a decade ago but I never really understood how good it was until they passed through the Bimby. I have found however that tracks that I used to enjoy but have been mastered badly I cant listen to anymore. It is not that the MB makes it sound any worse but when compared to the better recordings it just shines the spotlight on the elephant in the room.

  Is my eyesight going or are those pictures blurry? 

 

Parts are blurry, it's the field of view used by the camera I suspect. Damn old eyes!

So I really love led Zeppelin but I've found that some of their stuff isn't mastered that well. Once I got my HD650S all the flaws started showing up and it's hard for me to listen to some of their songs.

Is the purpose of multibit is to be the ultimate in revealing details, including flaws?

I'm excited but also a bit worried to get my Mimby.

Maybe my Flac rips of Zeppelin aren't very good.

I agree that the MB DACs (I've heard Bifrost MB and Gungnir MB) do an amazing job reproducing the sound of an orchestra. In my experience this is most unusual in a DAC.
Many of the world's orchestras stream some of their concerts live. Highly recommended with the MB.
