Download a few torrents at the Pirate Bay of HD Tracks first to determine if you think they're better or not. Normally I don't support doing this sort of thing but to me this serves to take out confirmation bias. If you spend $25 on an album that advertises that it's HIGH RESOLUTION 24/192 blahblah - then you're going to assume it's better.
If however you get the album for free you can just do a test against one of your regular CDs of the album.
Also, try to ensure that the download album has not been remastered because that isn't the same comparison anymore.
I have a few 24/192 mastered CDs on a special technology (the disc itself is different than regular CD - well so they claim - and I will try high res downloads and CD of the same albums.
I don;t have an Audio Note CD player - but the player I have is one of the better ones available for $1500.
