Blu ray Audio - aka Pure Audio - anyone tried it ?

Lol , i'll let my ears decide thanks :)

while my set-up isn't really hi-end , it isn't cheap either :-

Arcam bdp300 blu ray player
Arcam irdac
Graham slee srg11 headphone amp
Sennheiser hd700 headphones

The difference between my cd copies and pure blu ray audio version is massive. But older music seems to show upi the differences more

If there really are massive differences that you're not just imagining then that likely isn't down to the format itself. Plenty of people think their ears can distinguish things then when tested it turns out to be nonsense. It isn't like no one has compared these formats properly... there have been proper trials and the evidence just doesn't support your claim.
 
Time is better spent dragging a rock across a piece of vinyl than preaching on a forum :p ....... And wow what a rock .... :D
 
perhaps it is... but the OP asked for opinions, if he didn't want opinions and facts that contradict his own then starting a thread is a bit pointless in the first place
 
As said in the other thread, other than different mastering...

Cliffs =
In a naturalistic survey of 140 respondents using high quality musical samples sourced from high-resolution 24/96 digital audio collected over 2 months, there was no evidence that 24-bit audio could be appreciably differentiated from the same music dithered down to 16-bits using a basic algorithm (Adobe Audition 3, flat triangular dither, 0.5 bits).

Ok an opinion, waste of time, no market for it. “Audiophiles” won’t go down the BD player route for Hi End audio, no need we can already download 24/192 files or DSD files… then use current “Audiophile” grade streamers and DAC’s… Why use a mechanical spinning medium for digital when data transfer is already in place.
Mass market buys BD players from Asda …. Plus won’t have a system to make use of greater amounts of data.
It’s 10 years too late……. DTS Master Audio of concerts and live performances with pictures is perfectly adequate........ Then most will get played through a sound bar !!!

+1
As a format, it's just too late.
For all that, my system supports BDA and the one disk I did buy sounds ace.

Well I bought 3 and have 2 of them already as 24/96 downloads . For me the Disc based version sounds better . So either the site I got them from ( hdtracks ) has inferior downloads of for some reason playing them through my set-up via disc is better .
 
Same masters ? (We don't know.... but possible isn't..if different people did them)
Played through same DAC in your system ?
HD tracks do sometimes upsampled 16bit it's been claimed.

Yep same equipment is being used for music . The ONLY difference is one is disc based , the other digital download.

In fact the only thing I still havn't tried yet is how good the onboard dac is of my dbp300 against my irdac
