[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 186920, member: 20"] My experience with Hi-Res files are: Some are clearly less compressed than the commercially released redbook files and therefore have better dynamic range. Sometimes the equalization is more natural and more compatible with Hi-Fi standards Too many Hi-Res releases have the same level of compression as the redbook release and are not worth the money. Some Hi-Res files are just upsampled redbook material. Both HDTracks and Linn were guilty of selling such files. In all cases I know of the actual sin was committed by the recording label providing the upsampled files to HDTracks or Linn. Perhaps they should have verified the quality more thoroughly. That said, the replay equipment also has a role to play. Sometimes upsampled redbook sounds better because your hardware handles it better. [/QUOTE]
