| Comment | Comparing the audio samples against each other (and the brickwalled awful original master), it appears Qobuz is serving the same master as the newer and much more dynamic Apple release also listed here (as well as the Amazon MP3s). HDTracks also appears to now be serving the same version, after previously serving the brickwalled version. 7Digital serves the brickwalled version still in the UK (or hasn't updated their audio samples). Though, as I have no desire to spend £300 on the same album, I'm basing this on assuming the audio samples the other stores serve are representative of the final downloaded tracks. I'm also assuming the 96.0 kHz 24-bit quality option is the same master, as I presume the CD quality option is downsampled from the same high-res master, but HD Tracks did previously have a 96.0 kHz 24-bit brickwalled download (which again, judging by their audio samples, appears to no longer be the case - but no stores give any explicit indication of there being a newer release). Hopefully this is helpful to anyone thinking of picking the album up who wants to avoid the sub-par original master. |
