    Re: What was your best Audio Purchase of 2015?

    Bud- Yes, HDTracks sold as "high resolution" are a waste of money.

    There is no clear provenance or evidence to where these recordings come from or who manipulates them. Simply where is the...

    Re: What was your best Audio Purchase of 2015?

    Ah good, It is good to have a solid back up methodology and it's another thing to make an entirely complex and costly issue for music that never was recorded in "high resolution."

    Anything HDTracks and Acoustic Sounds- "High Resolution" downloads are no value added.
    -No Back up
    -No Provenance
    -No difference from CDs or a Clean Record
    -Repurchasing the same music, with no...

    Re: What was your best Audio Purchase of 2015?

    Besides my music and all my McIntosh Branded gear-- products that exceed the hype, and there is no shortage of hype and falsehoods in Audio.

    Re: Offical Spotify Thread

    I'm the cynic here.

    It's on the MacOS Rumors home page and has been hinted at since 2014.

    Apple has nearly all its music in 24bit / 96KHz and higher. It's what they use to create their 256 Kbps AAC files.
