Best way to purchase/download music?

I second HDTracks. I've been downloading some of their 192kHz/24-bit recordings and it's the best digital I've heard through my system. Albeit, expensive and still not many offerings. My turntable still sounds better, but new LPs are no bargain either.

Very interesting John. You may have a valid point, because I don't have the same files in a lower resolution to compare.

My 96kHz files are all Jazz, and they are open and fairly involving for digital. I expect that from these recordings. They were very well recorded. My 192kHz files are old Rock classics, and even though I heard more detail than I remember from the past, they did sound somewhat flat and uninvolving. Hmmm. However, I credited the SQ to the recording and not the file resolution.

I will have to listen and compare apples with apples.

Thanks,
Kenny
