...the same section of music. The "audio position" of the 44.1K/16 track shows 1 min 24 secs while the second image shows zero. Plus, the time runs of the two tracks are different. Then, the 44.1k/15 track shows 96K/24 on the side.
CD quality has around 96 dB of dynamic range while hirez can go to about 120 dB from a practical standpoint. Contrast that to analog tape or LP formats which typically struggle to get past 70 dB of dynamic range. There is no technical reason that a CD quality can't provide the dynamic range needed for uncompressed music playback.
Now, what the record companies and producers CHOOSE to do with respect to dynamic compression is a whole 'nother issue. If your two images do present a dynamic range difference between the two formats for the same recording, it is because they =wanted= to do that, not because it was due to technical limitations.
