Acoustic sounds ceased hi resolution downloads

I just found out today that as of 12/31 Acoustic sounds ceased operations of their hi resolution download service. I am bummed because I bought a couple DSD downloads from Norah Jones, Elton John. I wanted to buy more but now I can’t find those titles anywhere. I was gonna buy John Coltrane DSD but I can’t find it anywhere else. Most of the other download services sell mainly classical. Anybody have any other resources?

Sorry to hear that. If you haven’t already, I suggest invest in a decent streaming player and sign up with Qobuz. My experience tells me, you won’t need to spend $$$ on downloads anymore. I STOPPED buying downloads ever since I signed up with Qobuz in late 2018.

jm, I’m sorry for your loss. I would be devastated if I were to loose my rare collection of physical media. I didn’t find DSD download but you may pick up a used SACD of Blue Train at Amazon for $25.

“Now DSD is a whole other world, they sound phenomenal.”

@jmphotography,

You won’t hear an disagreement on DSD from me...I still very much enjoy spinning SACD’s through my Marantz SA-11s2. The next best alternative is 24bit/192kHz file on Qobuz, if it is available :-)  

BTW, what JC album in DSD you’re after?
