This is what audio purists should be asking for. Let's pay the creative production team to create and release a high-fidelity digital mix optimized for us. No concerns about radio play, boomboxes or loudness wars. Just their original creative intent.

- Syonyk 4y agoIf there's a "high bitrate" (24-bit, 96kHz FLAC or something like that) master, often enough that will be the case. You can reasonably assume that someone who's buying that version of the track has something capable of playing it back sanely. Same with the "high def audio" formats (SACD, there was another one...) - they often did, in fact, sound better. Not because of the high resolution, so much as because they were mastered to be listened to on a competent system, not on the subway on earbuds.
