Made up of tracks from 8 albums released in Stereo Pure DSD 256, Pure DSD Recordings, Vol. 1 is an exploration of the purest DSD recordings available. This is a Stereo Pure DSD 256 release, exclusively available at NativeDSD.

All songs included in this compilation album were recorded in DSD 256 and delivered to us from the original edit master. This album is available in other DSD formats thanks to our HRP program.

We classify Pure DSD albums as ‘recordings where mixing and balancing are performed in the Analog or DSD domain prior to digitizing. With no post-processing in PCM.’

We obtain the DSD master files directly from the labels, and present them to you exactly as they listened to them in their final mastering session.

We thank the recording artists, producers, recording engineers, mastering engineers and music labels producing music in the DSD realm. We thank them for their cooperation on this project including Just Listen, Hunnia Records, Yarlung Artists, Eudora Records, Songlines Recordings and Outer Marker Records.
