Which High Res releases are worth buying?

A number of A'goners have said they'd like to start a running database of releases that are worth buying. We've all discovered High Res downloads and discs that don't even live up to Redbook standards. Others are a definite improvement. Here's your chance to weigh in on the winners as well as the dogs. Inevitably, you may post a recommendation others may disagree with. Debate is good, but let's keep it clean and courteous. If we do, this could provide everyone with a great resource.

I just got the new download from the Sound Liaison label,
''After Silence'' with Andre Heuvelman.

Gorgeous Album.
Never heard of the trumpet player Andre Heuvelman before, but I saw that somebody called him the world's best trumpet player. Well I never liked the term 'best' for talking about music, but a marvelous trumpet player he is.
He definitely has that rare ability to make his instrument speak in all the colors of the rainbow.
The label is giving away a free download from the album, should anyone be interested. I personally find the album, and here I do like to use the term best,the best sounding album in audiophile terms I have heard so far in 2014.

The latest hi-res download from Sound Liaison is up to or maybe even surpassing their previous releases.
Batik; the Old Man and the Sea, featuring ECM recording artist Wolfert Brederode has an incredible vivid sound stage, clear placement, depth and a warm lush presentation of the instruments.
even the youtube mp3 quality shows the absolutely stunning audio quality of this, what must be, in my humble opinion, THE hi-res download of 2014.
