I’m sure every NativeDSD fan has his or her “wish list” of pieces that they would like done or re-done with the very best resolution, equipment, producer, orchestra, etc. In fact, how cool would it be if Native let us vote on these. Anyways, this is one of the pieces on my wish list. I have a very good recording of Fantasia but it isn’t done with DSD 256 and it falls over just a bit at the point the full breadth of instruments kick in. This one doesn’t flinch. This recording brings out the full potential of what Fantasia can be … until cradle-to-grave DSD 512 and DSD 1024 :).
