How do we know which hi-res tracks were made from hi-res recordings and which are just upsampled? For some time, most new recordings (and the vast majority of classical) are recorded in 24-bit formats. A smaller number as DSD. HD downloads from HDtracks, eClassical, Naxos, Super Hi-Rez, Native DSD, etc, etc are appealing as, with the fading away of SACD and the failure of music-only Blu-ray to catch fire, usually there's no disc version available at the recorded resolution. sandyk and daverich4 2 Link to comment
Popular Post ARQuint Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 With better-than-Red Book resolution recordings, I'm of the opinion that it's the bit-depth that matters in terms of SQ, more so than the sampling frequency, and I know at least some recording engineers feel this way. At TAS, our working definition of "high-resolution" is a PCM recording with a bit-depth of 24, whether the sampling rate is 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192—or any DSD-encoded master.
