So far I can tell you that the DR values for each track are exactly the same between my 16 bit RBCD's and the 24 bit digital download.
I will report back after a listen.
I just bought this Stereo FLAC download

I continue to get the Metallica HIRES releases from HDTracks. Today I purchased Death Magnetic 24/96 and Ride The Lightning 24/96, both where $17.98 without discount code.
Death Magnetic at least at the time of release is/was the most compressed music ever, no room at all to breath. I am actually surprised there is a 24/96 available.
But look at this astonishing difference between the original CD and this new version, DR Loudness Death Magnetic..
I hope it actually sounds better?

Got both of these at 24/192 using the discount code for around $20 U.S. each.
Only had one listen so far but very impressed with how they've been 'beefed up', I know there's varying reviews of these remasters out there but I like it especially for 'IV'. The ending for 'Angela' surprised me I must say! I'll get some more of these, probably 'The Seventh One' next.

Loving that STP album, some great songs. I think 'Three Wishes' is one of the best tunes in their catalogue.

Why is it that I can't buy them here in Denmark (EU) ????
Do you still have access to HDtracks; pretty sure the U.K. HDtracks recently shut down, maybe due to taxes or duties?
Yeah!

That is unfortunate. Did I read HDTracks stopped all there Euro download sites?
What about Tidal and stream, at least you get the new releases in CD quality, unless they have the Master version?

I wanna know if anyone has bought the new Norah Jones off HDtracks and how they like it?
Yes, I did last week and had a 2nd listen again this morning. Super good, very relaxing and soothing. She is at her best, sound quality is superb, typical Norah Jones.
I just finished listening to Dylan's 16:54 epic Murder Most Foul and followed along with all the lyrics, fascinating, and one tear fell.
Airbag - A Day At The Beach via Bandcamp 16/44.1
Its one of the things that winds me up, buy from our approved download sites, oh by the way you can't! and as a result you can't get it from anywhere.
......and I don't want to rent the music from the streamers whose motto seems to be we take a large chunk of money from you and the artist doesn't get much as we have a business to run, and hey the artist does it for 'fun'. I suspect radio play generates more income for an artist than streamer sites.
Rant over, I fell off my soapbox
