Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
Audiofun,Great to hear an update! Glad you're happy with the MSB. I have to put in my two cents about a few things. I've never used the Bridge, but I have extensive experience with the Bidat (sold mine a few months back) and the PW DAC and PW tran... 
Which High Res releases are worth buying?
Sorry about the 24/172 typos ...I also suffer from dyslexia and the 176 versus 192 throws me off. :-0

Ben, Very interesting observations. I'm as curious as you are. I wish HDTracks would share the re-packaging details of all their releases. Many of them are merely downloadable versions of already available SACD titles or are merely upsampled from ...

Excellent idea, Ozzy. I second the idea and will start using your system myself. 
Which High Res releases are worth buying?
Neil Young's catalog has been re-mastered in 24/172 and the 44.1 releases of these remasters KILL the old CD releases. It'll be very interesting to see whether Neil eventually authorizes dowload sales of the high res masters themselves. If he does...

I recently compared the 44.1 CD of Beck's "Sea Change" to Mobile Fidelity's 44.1 remaster. The original recording sounded great so I was not prepared for the DRAMATIC difference in the Mobile Fidelity reissue. The recording's soundstage, bass resp...

Ben,I hope this thread will serve everyone, regardless of respective musical preferences, so my personal musical tastes are unimportant. What I *do* hope is that people will compare reissued recordings with the original Redbook before recommending...

I really like the 24/192 release of the Stones' Greatest Hits vol. I available on HDtracks. It is finely detailed and very "vinyl" in its presentation...quite a bit better than the Redbook. Bare in mind though, that there are serious flaws in many...

Guys, this great! Keep 'em coming. I know some of you are wary about calling the " dogs" out but I think it's important...you can add as many provisos and disclaimers as you want to qualify a negative review such as " your mileage may vary" etc. F...

All things Must Pass- High Rez Download SQ ?
Ozzy,All Things Must Pass is a great work and I hope whoever did the hi-Rez release knew what he or she was doing. However, there just isn't the quality control with downloads that there is with physical discs. It's harder to make excuses or blame...

I wish Stereophile and Absolute Sound would start a running data base of what's worth owning in Hi Rez and what is not. For example, I defy HD tracks to demonstrate that the 24/96 version of Raising Sand that they continue to sell is superior to t...
