WINDIANRECORDS Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Too bad its so awfully compressed, songs are good otherwise. Will have to wait until the vinyl comes out to see if its a different master... Link to comment
new_media Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 HDtracks and Pono have Star Wars available right now in 24/44.1, but the Wilco website is offering 24/96, apparently available in 24/96 FLAC. I'm going to hold out until Friday. Star Wars Digital Download - Preorder Link to comment
new_media Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well, just pre-ordered and the 24/96 FLAC is already available. Seems legit. Link to comment
oneway23 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Some folks have said that they bought what they thought were the 24/96 FLACs from Wilco's site and ended up having the 16/44 delivered to them...I was holding off on purchasing until things were rectified. I'm guessing they're selling the hi-res FLAC as of now? Link to comment
new_media Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yeah, I ordered this afternoon and got the 24/96 FLAC. I think the ALAC option is probably 16/44. It's $2 cheaper. Link to comment
oneway23 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I thought the same thing...There was someone on the Hoffman forum who was saying that they bought the FLAC and ended up with 16/44...I was assuming they were waiting until Friday to release the hi-res...thanks for clearing things up for me!

dallasjustice Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Too bad its so awfully compressed, songs are good otherwise. Will have to wait until the vinyl comes out to see if its a different master... Did you find that Vinyl was more dynamic with any of their previous albums, like the Whole Love (pretty loud album)?

oneway23 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Was The Whole Love more dynamic on vinyl? I'd really LOVE (ba-dum-tis!) to hear it, in that case, because the hi-res download is crushed like cardboard in a compactor. Link to comment
InfernoSTi Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Has anyone been able to get the HDTracks 24/96 upgrade to download? I got my notice, it is in my queue, but it won't download. I've sent a request to HDTracks... Positive emotions enhance our musical experiences.

Jay-dub Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Well, just pre-ordered and the 24/96 FLAC is already available. Seems legit. [ATTACH=CONFIG]20346[/ATTACH] It looks like a 44.1 kHz recording upsampled and then clipped. The content above 21 kHz is clipping artifacts. Link to comment
InfernoSTi Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 HDTracks said it was a problem on their side. They sent me a direct link and I just downloaded the 24/96 version. It is still compressed (5-7) but it sounds really nice. Lots of detail in the cymbals (they shimmer with nuance like they should), for example. Positive emotions enhance our musical experiences.
