One thing that has been touched upon but not delved into is the fact
that many of the high resolution downloads available on both HDTracks

really remastered but just repackaged versions of previously available
high resolution

Also maybe the placebo effect, still sometimes I prefer the 24/96files.
The difference is slight, but somehow it seems there is more audible
space in the higher frequencies - no idea how to put it - probably
sounds silly anyway.
I find it is best heard on a solo

I see there are two releases available on Amazon, 2008 and 1998, both
purporting to be remasterings. Do you have a recommendation?
I also see that HD Tracks has a 48/24 version for sale, I wonder if that
suffers from the same faults as your 192/24?.

the better remaster that makes the big

I think my audiophile card got revoked when I put my high end cable
collection in the recycling dumpster including a set of audio quest
caldera speaker wires
Anyhow I do sometimes buy the HiRez version of something if it's aviable

That's what a friend did... Got rid of all his expensive wires, stayed
with some Mogami's. Tells me he has been happy to be free of the cable
obsession since.
No I thought it immoral to do soo I did not

There is also a factor with badly desiged equipment, a DAC or AV amp
could actually sound different with diffrent source formats , how is it
with DSD for example .
High end or not , bad design can pop up anywhere . But high end is
actually a more likely place more cultish design done by ear
