That's the part I don't know that I agree with. I presume they dug up the original master tapes from the tour dates. If those have been stored well, and were originally recorded well (good tape, clean heads, engineers with some experience, etc.) there is no reason to assume that they can't recover audio in excess of 44.1 kHz/16-bit.

They can release recordings with audio beyond the capabilities of a CD, but it may be that no one can actually hear the difference. And yes, I did buy CSNY 1974 and ripped the high res tracks. :-) Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Sargent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101949 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
