Just wanted to give everyone a quick heads-up that the Chopin Institute is uploading tons of videos from this year's Chopin Piano Competition to its YouTube channel.

Make sure to watch and listen in 1080p...

Thanks for the heads up but not sure my tolerance level can reach You Tube standards.

And you will be able to live stream the music in Stereo DSD 128 using the new Prime Seat software for any DSD DAC. Very nice!

Chopin is available on demand until Nov. 3(Tuesday), 2015, Japan time.
Listening now to my colleagues work in 5.6mHz Stereo DSD, working fine and sounding great!

To me it sounded worse (listened to the 24/96 downconverted stream) than the regular audio broadcast provided by the Chopin Institute / Warsaw Philharmonic throughout the competition up to and including the finals. There was just something wrong about the tonality of the DSD converters that were hooked up for the last three days.
