Elton John's "Captain Fantastic..." from HDTracks

[audiophile65]

Does anyone have the HDTracks download of Elton John's "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy"?

Does it sound good? Better than CD?

 

Thanks

Though it still sounds a bit - compressed - or something.

yes, there is some rather modern limiting but the tonal range is decent.

Save your money. I like the CD better. All of the Elton John releases at HDTracks have been disappointing, at least to my ears.

Hmmm....better save the $$$.

Bought both Elton John downloads from HDtracks and was mildly disappointed or unimpressed or... Converted my own collection of Elton John SACDs/CDs/Hybrid SACDs and the SQ of the conversions are quite satisfactory such that I no longer purchase much of what is being offered by HDtracks that is already in my library available for me to convert. I realize that my calibration is subjective; and I am not analyzing or measuring the SQ to gauge it objectively. Just listening and enjoying, and appreciating the quality of my own conversions. I am open to others' experiences too.

Best,
