Last weekend I bought "No Answer" in 192/24 which was their debut album. To compare it I have an ELO boxed set "The Harvest Years 1970-73" in 44/16. I always thought the Harvest CDs sounded excellent, but the 192/24 version is clearly superior. Better resolution, more tonal richness, and just more realistic sounding.

The dynamic range is the only thing better about the 44/16 version. However the hi res version is middle of the road compression-wise. There are better and there are worse, just from using the position of my volume knob as an indicator. I will try to run the Musicscope program on it this weekend and post the results. I say take a chance.
