I like what I hear from the HDTT offerings I've downloaded (mostly the DSD128 incarnations of analog-sourced program). And having just recently returned to the R2R fold after a long absence, I'm amused by the "so-called hi-res downloads" comment. To my ears, analog tape done right by producer/engineer teams who know what they're doing and care about production values offers a sense of organic flow that digitally-sourced material is hard-pressed to emulate, though the best renderings in that format achieve the 'almost' that counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
As for Sunier's editorializing (and, yeah, my own), is it any surprise that one might detect 'attitude' in his commentaries? We get it here all the time in this AA. Audio seems to do that to people.
