I noticed HD-Tracks just released this album as a hi-res download. Does anyone know if it is truly hi-res? The CD quality was just OK.

Cheers,

I purchased this, and I am very happy with it. The dynamic range is there, and on the modern recordings, the spectrum analysis graphs look fine in Audacity.

It is a rather large premium over the original CD version, but worth it in my opinion if you do not already have the deluxe version. The entire album sounds great, as did the original CD, but the tracks are all over the place, time and technology wise. And what is in here that is 24 bit in higher resolution sounds even better.

O brother should be fine as it is a stereo rip of SACD. Though I cringe everytime something I like pops up on hd tracks. Those guys are sketchy at best.
