It would not have worked as x could not really be x as he had to slightly fudge the files to avoid people cheating ,it had been a third variant not a or b . But anyway , with HD tracks you don't actually know when your wasting your money . You could get a better master of some recordings you could also get something else they simple don't have 100% knowledge of the source ( or actually don't care) . The may correct errors after the fact in some cases but that's simply not good enough . Given thier history I'm not realy trusting their different versions of release to be just different sample rates ? The 16/44.1 version of an album is cheaper in thier store The fact that I sometimes buy stuff there is just because there is not enough good online stores for lossles downloads, sometimes they are a viable option . And bussiness wise they kind of work you get your stuff ( whatever it is ) But we will be saved it's not DSD ! :D * new marketing opurtunity for some successor to HD tracks or HD tracks themselfs if they can adapt . * new opurtunity for denial for the devoted audiophile all PCM sound the same ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
