Fun's fun but it's time for these guys to get back together and make some music because the sum is greater than the parts.

D.

One of my fav's!

I agree these guy's need to pump out another album.

I got Nirvana -nevermind kickin right now

Keith,
I thought HDTracks was not upsampling. This is a Chesky release so there would be no issue of them being provided an upsampled version from another label. I have asked them about it and will post response when I get it.
Tony

I think it is. I already own some of the Chesky 96/24 Rebecca Pidgeon. I guess my point is the 96/24 stuff (which I believe is native) is $17.98 for the album (or $14.98 on sale, usually) the $12 jump for 192/24 (and likely an upampled version) is just not worth it in my books.

Thanks Nap, but I'm completely 'discless'

...in the higher rez formats, that is.

Keith,
I asked HDTracks about the genesis of the 176.4/24 version and whether they upsampled their hi-res music. I got what I believe was a canned response:
"Thank you for your inquiry. None of our titles are upsamples. They were all created directly from the masters in native 96/24." I have responded asking how the native 96/24 morphed into a 176.4/24 without upsampling. I am awaiting their next offering.

Yeah, their original 'Raven' hi-rez is 88.2/24...so the new 176.4/24 seems to be simply an upsampling of the native resolution file.
