I've only heard hi-rez formats at shows, and have not liked any of them.People whose audio judgments are more exact than mine have told me they also have not heard music from hi-rez sources.
I'm trying to comprehend the conflict between these and observations like yours. Hi-rez formats deliver more information, so, if audio systems could resolve the extra information, why would everyone not prefer hi-rez? In my experience with tweaking my system, I keep finding more honest detail in the Redbook format as I reduce the effects of vibration and RF noise. Perhaps at this point, I should try hi-rez, but the cost of a player comparable to my Wadia 861 is daunting.
