RE: right but does that (using manufactured CDs) validate hi-rez recording?

Quote: "My point here is the value of HD has to be that it's better than CD quality. Comparisons to vinyl make no sense."

Perhaps I'm not explaining myself very well. I was making a comparison between vinyl and CD because with the equipment that I have it's all that I can do. I can't use an HD download file because I can't be sure of it's provenance.

If I had HD digital recordings that I knew had been recorded and mastered at 24/96 or 24/192 then that could have been the basis for comparison.

We do seem to be in agreement that there is definitely a difference between HD and CD, which is what started all of this - too many claims that CD "perfect sound forever" is the pinnacle of achievement that can't be surpassed.
