Which HD Tracks labels sound good in Hi Rez?

Posted by Recorder on April 9, 2010 at 03:28:38:
I am interested in everyone's experience with the quality of various HD Tracks labels in hi rez. I have had excellent results with Reference Recordings, Dorian, Chesky and 2L. But I was very disappointed with the BIS recording of Osmo Vanska's Beethoven symphonies 2 & 7. I had seen rave reviews of the SACD version, but when I downloaded it in 24/88.2 from HD Tracks, the sound quality was nothing special. My RBCD version by Gunther Wand on RCA has better SQ. Also, BIS had not bothered to divide the symphonies into separate tracks for the various movements. Now I am wondering which labels I can buy with confidence.

I am especially interested in the classical music labels.
