First off, I tested playing an HDTracks HiRez Stereo file out of my PC, into the Surround Master, then back into my PC via my MOTU 828. It worked!! Holy Crap.
So that answered my own question here in this forum section I placed a few days ago. Anyway, I played a few stereo HiRez tracks out of my PC at 24/96 and 24/192 and recorded them back in 4CH from the QS mode of the (original) Surround Master and recorded them in Vegas. One of the tracks I did was from James Taylors' new album called "Stretch of the Highway". It's probably my favorite song at this point from that album (that I have to admit takes a while to warm up to), but that spreads out nicely in QS mode.
I then tried some old tired-and-true '70s tunes, and one jumped out at me on playback. Listen to this single verse, under a minute so it's OK to preview, of the Eagles tune "Peaceful Easy Feeling" from their first album. I'm sure you're all sick of it by now, as was I, but this is a VERY interesting listen. This is the rear channels. You can play it right from here, just right click and PLAY. Check it out:
