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?

“Krushevo” is the name of the town in central Macedonia where, high in the mountains, a large concrete monument was built during the Josef Tito era in the mid-1970’s, to commemorate the Macedonians that rebelled against the Ottoman Empire. Garfinkle’s beautifully designed photos of this unique “space-ship” building on the disc’s jacket belie the beauty that lies within: the profound interplay of two great guitarists playing “Balkan Blues” reverberating in an astonishing acoustic environment. From the opening lines of the swirling traditional dance, “Gajdarsko Oro” (“Bagpipe Reel”), we are treated to Vlatko’s fleet footed solos on his Sakura nylon string guitar, perfectly foiled by Miroslav’s punctuations on his Ramirez classical guitar. Back and forth they go, masterfully climbing the steps of this furious melody until they come to a feverish climax. Once the last note is struck, your audio system will be tested to its maximum to convey the glorious decay of this last punctuated note reverberating off the stonelike walls of this unique, rounded acoustic space, ad infinitum. I have never heard such wonderful ambience of both recorded space as well as the body of the instruments employed." (Nelson Brill, The Stereo Times)

In other thread I reported I was going to spend some money buying music in different formats from this site to share the results. Prices are very low, DSD in iso file, PCM HD identical to HDtracks, one HD upsampled, poor metadata = suspicious site at least.

from soundliaison.com
Very very unsatisfied with soundliason.
The dsd files are creating clicks between the tracks.
As well with the new provided DSD-files.
Since then no reaction over one week from Frans after 5-6 mails I have send to him.

Road to Memphis - DSD (64-DSF)
After seeing Mike-B recommendation a couple of weeks ago, bought album with my ipad then got out my Surface Pro 4 only to find that there was a problem with the Surface Pro 4 again, which meant that i could not download my album.
Got computer back from Microsoft on Monday and found that the download had timed out and could not download my album. Since then i have sent 4 emails to soundliason and have had no reply from them.
To say i am very unsatisfied with soundliaso is and understatement.
