Neil Young: High Resolution Audio in 2012

[singhcr]

Has there been any more news on this?

I just listened to Alter Bridge's ABIII. There is a lot of layering and depth in the LP I have (unfortunately it's just a CD port), but it's totally lost in the compression and low sampling rate.

After finding that the Bee Gees albums that aren't on LP are availiable on HDCD (which is 44.1/24), going from 16 bits sampling rate to 24 bits makes a significant difference in sound quality. The depth of the soundstage along with the overall increase in general clarity is astouding- it's not quite as good as a nice LP but it's sooo much better than a standard CD that it infuriates me to think that my Alter Bridge music is trapped at 44.1/16 when a CD master is 96/24 I believe. I can't wait for high quality music to be a standard, but somehow I think this won't happen.
