RE: May I express my dismay

"If the record companies support hi-res, because the get to sell everything all over again, well they might do a decent job of remastering it while they are at it, or maybe not. :("

I've never heard a high-rez rig where I could confidently say "this is a great recording"..... The playback itself clouds my perception a good recording relative to a not-so-good recording.

Now the problem above could be that there are not many good recordings..... The playback rig might actually be OK, but the recordings are the problem. I don't know.

Even with CD, if I listened to an unfamiliar disc on an unfamiliar rig, I wouldn't be able to tell whether the sonic problems I was hearing were from the recording or from the playback device. Most likely a combination of the two.
