They also offer a Beck album in 'Audiophile 96kHz/24bit' but at least two of the songs have been recorded as MP3s by Beck and so do not exist as true Hi-Rez files anywhere.
Do you think HDTracks should inform their customers that they are merely upsampled MP3s?
Is it fraud that they do not?
In the case of the MJ album HDTracks do not give direct information about which version it is they are selling but it possibly could be inferred from the given release date.
Still requires the customer to check for themselves in the DR database provided they know of its existence.
I just noticed that HDTracks version of Fleetwood Macs 'Rumours' lost 5dB in dynamic range compared to the vinyl, '84 & '90 cd releases.
Ironic really considering that over-compression will lose much, much more in SQ than might be gained by going Hi-Rez.
