Yes indeed, may I see also waveforn and spectrum graphs please? Btw, I have redbook and noticed that bass are little bit muddy and congested in his section, do you hear the same?

Sorry, only saw this now:

 

Here's the waveform of track no. 8: tales from the time loop.

Thanks. Not bad, but would be better I think and lower the peaks 2-3dB I guess.

I really love this album. One of my favorites in 2014.

 

I analysed the first track with MusicScope.

Here are the results:

 

Full report:

 

At the beginning (during play mode):

 

 

Looks like 'real' highres material.

The second screenshot shows a very low noise level (about -120dB).

 

So overall I would say very good quality.

Many thanks for this post. This result about the noise level indicates that the recording really uses more than 16 bits. So this means that MusicScope offers an easy-to-use tool that indicates whether 24-bit recording really use more than 16 bits. So far, I could only test whether 24-bit files were 16-bit files padded with zeroes, but this was of course a very crude test. MusicScope's noise-level calculation does exactly what I was looking for.
