There is absolutely no justification for charging more than the CDs or SACD release. But audiophiles are easy bait for the Hi Res download bandits. All it takes is a promise of better resolution and they will buy a more expensive copy of something they already have. I took the bait and bought some hi res downloads but let it go after two out of the first three Hi Res downloads I bought had clipping distortion.

Glad to hear it. Perhaps I had bad luck. Enjoy.
Eliane Elias: "I thought about You" Concord 2013. Marc Johnson Elaine Eliane Elias, "Swept Away." ECM 2012. Both had distortion on certain tracks. And the response from HD Tracks was: "This is part of the original master. There isn't anything that can be done about that. Each record label has their own recording/mastering process when it comes to high res. Sometimes the high res mastering and its clarity may present qualities that originally were unnoticeable when first released or in previous formats. We only hope that our label partners have taken note of that." I would have liked to have known this before spending $20 on the "hi res" album.
I continue to hope all the new competition will drive downloads down in price, hasnt happened yet. :(
