rscholl Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 How is the HD Tracks version of this album? Are there any other hi-res versions that anybody can recommend? Thanks. Link to comment
CatManDo Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 This is a 1983 album involving digital recording/mixing (part analogue, part digital) so there can never be a truely hi-rez version. The HDtracks download is 24/44. For this album, the mastering is more important than the resolution of the release. On the Steve Hoffman forum, most people seemed to prefer the original CD release, but there are other good versions as well (the 2009 Audio Fidelity reissue). Yes "90125" CD Mastering Thread | Steve Hoffman Music Forums The "hi-rez" release to avoid is the Japan SACD , because those Yes SACDs (from the 2013 "High Vibration" 16 disc set) have a lot of dynamic compression (in the range of DR7-8) https://www.hraudio.net/showmusic.php?title=10093 http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=&album=90125 Claude Link to comment
