Spring Birds: An Audiophile Recording Experience from Doug Fearn is a new Pure DSD 256 recording from Outer Marker.

It is Exclusively Available in Stereo Pure DSD 256 as well as Stereo DSD 512, DSD 128 and DSD 64 at NativeDSD.

Recorded during the early days of the Covid pandemic, this extraordinary audio document provides a rare glimpse into the purity of the natural world, free from the distractions of automobiles, trains and commercial aircraft.

Rather than resulting in an eerie silence, the forests of rural Pennsylvania were filled with the glorious sounds of multitudes of birds singing, chattering and conversing. Seeing this as a (hopefully) once in a lifetime opportunity, famed audio equipment designer and recording engineer Doug Fearn set up his equipment and captured this performance over the course of two spring mornings in May, 2020.

Recorded Direct to Stereo DSD through two channels of Doug Fearn-designed D.W. Fearn vacuum tube microphone preamplifiers. This audiophile experience is sonically engaging, emotionally stirring and historically unique.


Doug Fearn joined David Hopkins on a podcast for our Meet the Magicians interview series. This album was discussed heavily during the interview. Check it out HERE.

Gear Setup

Neumann SM69 stereo condenser microphone to a D.W. Fearn VT-2 2-channel vacuum tube microphone preamplifier. The VT-2 is designed and built by Outer Marker founders Doug Fearn, George Hazelrigg and Geoff Hazelrigg, and is used in major studios around the world. After the mic preamp, the stereo signal went to a D.W. Fearn VT-5 stereo equalizer with a rolloff of some of the lowest frequencies, below about 40Hz, and a bit of highs at 28kHz.
