New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

RE: Any emerging consensus here on download quality?

Harold, the provenance information is typically found at the beginning of the individual release's detailed description. Here, for example, is the opening paragraph of the description of Verve's DSD'd Getz/Gilberto (bolding in the original at http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/94083/Stan_Getz__Joao_Gilberto-Getz_and_Gilberto-DSD_Download):

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original analog master tapes to vinyl and PCM. The DSD was sourced from the PCM. George listened to all of the different A/D converters he had before he chose which to use, and he felt the George Massenburg GML 20 bit A/D produced the best and most synergistic sound for the project.
