Recommend a GOOD recording in hi res file?

Hello from US Embassy Baghdad! My big system is in storage but I have a decent one here, based on the Dragonfly. I'd like to try some hi res audio but don't want to pay for a very high fiedility version of a lousy recording. Could you please suggest hi res albums that you've actually downloaded and can suggest based on their recording quality? My tastes are classic rock, blues and smooth jazz. Just surfing the sites for a minute, Steely Dan Gaucho and Elton John Madman across the water caught my eye.

Don't forget Fourplay downloads! Great smooth jazz. Good to get laid as well!

If you like jazz male vocalists, Gregory Porter, Liquid Spirit. Lorde, Pure Heroine. Grateful Dead reissues in high rez, Rolling Stones in high rez. Cat Stevens Tea for Tillerman. Getz/Gilberto. Norah Jones. For fun and for cheap, download the HDtracks sampler. I think Audiogon has a sampler too, Wake Up Your Ears.

Enjoy!
