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?

MDS posted:Downloaded a 24/192 FLAC version of Eagles' Hotel California from Highresaudio.de yesterday. At £18 I thought it a bit expensive but it is definitely better than my CD version. The bass guitar and kick drums in particular have much more weight and better resolution.
Using downloaded music for me is a bit clunky as I have to transfer the files to a USB stick for popping into my nDAC but I'll probably use this site again.
Got this on lovely 180 g vinyl,the sound is sublime

Edward does each album in a set have appropriate artwork or are all for Pt I with The Dreaming Cover and Pt II with The Sensual World (cheaper to buy individually I note on Qobuz) - I see you got them on HighResAudio. I also see the Highresaudio prices are more competitive than those on Qobuz if you aren't a subscriber to either - their prices are even better if you get 30% off with a subscription!
Should the FLAC and MQA versions sound near identical, the MQA costs a little more?
