Either HDTracks cheated you, which I doubt, or AS is wrong.
Damien explained in the podcast of Audiophile Style, that the algorithm that does this analysis was developed by IRCAM, and that IRCAM hopes to improve it through their collaboration with Audirvana. If they think that it should be improved, it means that it’s still perfectible.
Hi - I have searched for an HD version of Airto Moreira - Free, and I could not find it. Where did you purchase this? I think it is possible that the source is the issue.
That is where I started and couldn’t find that particular “Free” high res album. Is there geofencing on these, can other find it? This is why I asked the OP where they bought it because from my side it is not there.
i don’t want to start a thing about web sites selling hires not hires,
only want to know what it means bandwidth not hd…
i know i can see the 24/192 in Audirvana,
but, can numbers be in a file without being it ?
I have had suspicions some “HD” albums are simply upsampled from 44.1/16.
This feature seems to confirm this and is , for me, the single most useful feature of Studio.
