Which High Res releases are worth buying?

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.

For me, one of the greatest disappointments was Raising Sand. The 96/24 dowload is not horrible, it just doesn't improve upon the Rebook, IMHO.

2chnlben,

Thanks so much for all of the great links!

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 of the original recordings...distortion, etc.

The first McCartney solo album download on HDTracks is better than the standard Redbook, but I hear it isn't as good as the Gold DCC master from a few year's back....but that can't be had for less than $200 anymore.

Linda Rondstadt "Whats New" on HD Tracks in 24/192 is absolutely spectacular.

great stuff Ben!. thanks for helping me part with $110 on hd tracks last night lol!
