What is the latest music you downloaded, what resolution and from where?

Posted by: Stevee_S on 13 January 2014

With more music being downloaded I thought it might be interesting to see what forum members are buying and from where.

The news that HD Tracks are soon to open an online UK store means that more choice is going to be available to us. The variety and quality of downloadable music we can choose from is expanding, MP3 to 24bit studio Masters at 192kHz and beyond.

So what are you buying and downloading?

Earth Wind & Fire , Gratitude DSD 2.8mhz from HD Tracks
Been trying to upload the front cover to my first DSD purchase with no joy but anyhow I’ve just purchased an old album which my Sister had on double vinyl in the mid seventies. As a ten year old back then it blew me away and so I bought it years ago on CD but it sounded dull dull dull so I never played it much. The album is part live part studio. I could have bought an SACD version but didn’t have a suitable player.
All of a sudden it’s available as a DSD so I had to have it and, oh it’s like listening to the vinyl again lovely smooth sound but punchy too with superb atmosphere that one gets with a live recording.
Any tips on uploading pictures from an iPad ? ????????

Two methods:

1. Upload your pictures to imgur and then copy the link from imgur into the picture icon on the post - if you want to share what you are playing or personal photos

2. Like in this post. You just copy the link to the picture from the download provider - often in my case Qobuz, but can also be others and amazon, and again same process...

Hope that helps.

Must have been a pricing mistake from Qobuz. Pre-ordered at just 4,99 euros in 24/96 from sublime...., but even normal it’s low priced..

What’s this like. How does Qobuz compare to a CD rip?

Ah, I see Qobuz is not available in New Zealand.

I haven’t done a direct comparison, but within the context of Yes a good sound...
