There is no need to spend lots of money to hear the benefits of hi-res.
I don't doubt you're right though that's not really my point. For now, I'll take a raincheck on trying "hi-res" material until I can have a measure of confidence that what I pay for is what I'll get and, more important, until I find material worth buying.
BTW, though my speakers don't do 16Hz, reviewers report that they comfortably go down to the mid 20s.
If you believe that the only differences that one can "hear" are those that can be rapidly distinguished by a quick 16 trial ABX test, then forget hires. For that matter, forget any aspirations of a high-end system.
As you well know, I've argued here at length and many a time against such a position. It is a very cheap shot on your part to ascribe it to me simply because I question the apparent supremacy of "hi-res" material in a scenario where folk are having to scurry to their DAWs just to find out what it is they've bought.
Besides, it was you who wrote of "comparing two versions of the same recording in different formats to see if there are significant audible differences". Not me.
Take another look at the thread that Roseval linked to - it's reporting a mess. Don't blame me for it.
If one has spent all one's life listening to CDs and little else then perhaps these sound perfectly natural.
I'm sorry if you've spent too long listening to CDs.
I haven't though I have to confess to wasting much of my youth and far too much of my money listening to live performances by great artists in a variety of music genres in an array of venues. I further admit that I've shown little sign since of changing my ways. I'm something of a musical recidivist.
(BTW, if your jibe about CDs is a Straw Man argument, the one about mp3s is a red herring.)
I don't believe you appreciate the legal situation. There can be big money involved and hence the possibility of big lawsuits.
I fully appreciate the legal situation. There isn't one. No one has so much as suggested suing anyone.
Linn has acknowledged the problem with the hi-res data it has been selling and is presumably addressing it. The company is ethically and legally entitled to reasonable time to do so.
In short, you're over-reacting. Calm down, phone Perry Mason and tell him from me he can take the weekend off.
And even if these don't happen, it is just poor form to accuse someone of fraud without having a solid basis for the accusation.
I haven't accused anyone of fraud in any shape or form and have no intention of doing so. It verges on insulting to imply that I have - it's certainly very poor form.
Neither BTW has anyone else. A few disgruntled punters are understandably aggrieved that much of what they thought was going to be the dog's bollocks (and paid accordingly) is turning out to be sub-standard. They've sounded off - but it's all been pretty polite.
