Agree it does seem a good percentage of 'HighRez' are just upsampled Redbook CD.
Warning about "so called Hi Rez" downloads
I have been downloading for awhile with several
brands such HDdown loads and I can tell you first hand that the majority of them are not Master recording
and just remastred such as the Doors first album ,it sounds more smooth on a hirez cd ,I found several songs tipped up in the upper octaves,Luck for me My Ayon Dac
is all Vacuum tube. Also I wrote to the company 3 times and went on deaf ears where one guy spent $3k on downloads so he gave him a replacement down load or two .But myself received -0 because I spent only a few hundred .Everyone has a seperate account under their name with all your credit card details on file ,In two seperate cases I heard about others credit cards numbers being stolen .I will not say which companies ,yes more than one .These companies
should have accountability .I never see a money back, or replacement guarantee anywhere .That tells me they could care less they just want your hard earned money
for $18-$25 a download that is a big risk .For the time being by a reference recording or even a lot of classics
reissued in their original Master recordings .
Just a little advise unless they offer some guarantee .You will be in a hit or miss proposition .I have over 30 down loads and at least 6 are no better than their cd counterparts that is 20% and I have over $35k in electronics so my system has nothing to do as to
the download playback problem. Best of luck ,
and happy listening.
