Diving into the Deep End: Why Yes’ ‘Close to the Edge’ in 24-bit/192kHz FLAC is a Revelation
Use software like Foobar2000, Roon, or VLC that handles bit-perfect playback. 🎯 Verdict: Is it Worth the Space?
The 2013 FLAC 24-bit/192kHz edition of Close to the Edge offers the closest digital approximation to the original analog master tapes currently available. While the ultrasonic bandwidth is of theoretical rather than practical benefit for most playback systems, the 24-bit depth and careful transfer provide a definitive listening experience for archival and critical listening purposes. Future remasters should focus on provenance (which master tape generation was used) rather than further increasing sample rates.
In the pantheon of progressive rock, few albums stand as tall, as complex, and as spiritually immense as Yes’s 1972 masterpiece, Close to the Edge . For decades, fans have debated which pressing, which remaster, and which format best captures the thunderous lows of Chris Squire’s bass, the ethereal chime of Steve Howe’s guitar, and the cathedral-like vocals of Jon Anderson.
