Sorry about the 24/172 typos ...I also suffer from dyslexia and the 176 versus 192 throws me off. :-0
Which High Res releases are worth buying?
A number of A'goners have said they'd like to start a running database of releases that are worth buying. We've all discovered High Res downloads and discs that don't even live up to Redbook standards. Others are a definite improvement. Here's your chance to weigh in on the winners as well as the dogs. Inevitably, you may post a recommendation others may disagree with. Debate is good, but let's keep it clean and courteous. If we do, this could provide everyone with a great resource.

It sure would be nice if more people could find some high resolution worth bragging about. It's tempting to conclude that there just aren't many qualifying titles out there. The Absolute Sound has just now begun a "trial" feature highlighting high res files worth downloading. It's a short list and not many superlatives were used. Let's hope they can unearth more gems in the future and that the attention will spur other musicians and producers to use the new technology in their releases. |
I have found the MA Recordings HiRez DVD-ROM titles to be of true reference quality. I'm a jazz fan and really like the release of Mathias Landaeus Trio's - Opening. It's stunning how it seemingly transports you to the recording studio. Other releases from MA are equally superb in quality and are taken from Todd Garfinkle's original digital masters - not upsampled! |
