Roger that, tyvm.

Although this might come a bit late but I got a free U2 album from iTunes. I like the sound coming from that album so yea if you can get this U2's Song of Innocence album, go ahead.

Mark Knopfler's Sailing To Philadelphia now selling at HD Tracks 48/24 and dr 12 rated as in drloudness site. It's a cheaper version than that dvd-a which if im not mistaken cost rm300 a piece now.

Am starting to think this has become like a personal blog. Heh

I was hunting for the digital version of The Eagle's Hell Freezes Over (HFO) then to stumbled upon this territorial UK/Germany locked site.

Technics HiRes Audio store - The Eagles HFO

HFO was recorded in 16bit format as told by Elliot Scheiner, the album sound engineer, and not until after that works on 24bit began so this source should be enough as in 16/44. What got me excited was this site offered a single purchase so I can cherry picked Hotel California out of the bunch.

But, like I said the site is locked to UK/Germany that it even freaking asked the UK shipping address while offering payment thru paypal. No the card number will give out the origin country.

It's just a normal Flac 16/44 right?
I have the US-pressed normal CD and Japan-pressed XRCD for this album and to be honest, I couldn't hear the difference when I played it through my Bladelius CDP & amp & Focal 1027Be when I was still playing hi-fi

For their Hotel California album, I do have the Flac 24/192 and the DSD.
I still couldn't hear the difference between these 2 formats when playing through AK100II & ciem Roxanne.
Another from me

Hotel California album and the studio song are available in hires like what you have there ofc but the 1994 acoustic live version is not. So yea afaik it's only 16/44 for the 1994's. Elliot and Eagles were pushing for 24bit live version according to this article. They're gunning for 5.1 dvd sound tho so it might not be a thing to listen to with headphone.

Well, if they do released the HFO album in hi-res, I'm game
provided not in 5.1 Bluray Audio

Its K2 HD cd is marketed as 24/100 but DR rating only 8-10. I have mp3 rated in 12 tho, so fishy DR. But we all know now if there's a hires HFO, it's an upsampled version because the source is just 16bit.
