Hi JC, I´m of different opinion. I own some of this recordings and I have much pleasure with it. Okay, not such a typical ultra clean, analytic 'audiophile' stuff, but great music recordings. Especially the mids have a wonderful natural sound structure. Perhaps depending on your playback environment and your listening habbits you feel it does sound a bit 'muddy'. For me this shows the real 'analogue' quality of this HD files. Best, Tom

In my mind the answer to this question can´t be it sounds better or worse compared with digital formats. It depends on the digital resolution. I never heard a CD sounding as good as the same recording on vinyl. But in the meantime I heard some HD files, 96k and 192k, that sound really 'vinyl like' or better because there is no distortion and no noise. A completely other thing I like with vinyl are the handling and the cover art. The virtual download is not really aesthetic. Tom
