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?

Couldn't give you the feedback yet, as I didn't listen to it yet - with my bulk buy I need some time to get through it all. But as you bought it, enjoy....

24/192 From Qobuz - Sounds really quite special on the NDX
EClassical deal of the day 24/44.1
Qobuz.
The ballads are very pretty, but the faster pieces are too busy for my liking.
SQ is a bit boxed in.

Agreed sound is a bit boxed in. Not as shiny as earlier albums...
Benefiting from downloads lately to expand my knowledge of lute music. The title and cover of this issue may be a bit cheesy but it may, in fact, be this year's unexpected discovery for me. The household here, so tired of my fondness for all things opera, piano and string quartet, are loving this development.

Well done EJS I have become very fond of old and ancient lute music in the past year or so and am thoroughly enjoying the journey. I'm sure you know other lutenists but if I could point you toward Hopkinson Smith in particular and Nigel North then you have a wonderful trio of excellence when you add in Paul O'Dette.
Purchased from Qobuz - deluxe 25th Anniversary 24/96. Have to say not a patch on the 180g vinyl release.

Thanks! Still new and have not heard Smith or North; I do however have a record by Jakob Lindberg, who is also excellent.
