    Agree. There is a richness in the vocals that I don’t think I have heard before.

    Checking out the Dolby Audio version of TDSOT on Apple Music now, and apart from some parts sounding a bit too loud, really enjoying its spatial presentation!

  3. Having just listened to A Foot In The Door (24bit 192kHz); it would be a crime not to release TDSOTM and The Wall in 24bit 192kHz.

    OK, so the gains are marginal, however, I understand that James Guthrie & Co do each digital transfer at the required resolution from the AAA master tapes, rather than do a 24bit 192kHz and then downsample to 96 and 44.

    I believe, though can't confirm, that The Wall was transferred at 24bit 96kHz back in 2011 for a possible release in the Immersion box.

    BTW for anyone the difference between 24bit 192kHz and 24bit 96kHz is marginal, especially if one is just a downsample. If they are separate transfers the difference could be slightly wider.

    Note: from the comments I have read, that James Guthrie has made, he has a clear preference of working in the analogue domain, and as far as digital - his preferred format is DSD.

    Question: How do you know Apple Music is streaming in Hi-Res? I have Apple Music but don't see any indication of this.

    It should say “Hi-Res Lossless” near the play/skip controls. And further than that, you can tap it for specific sample rate.

    Have you already turned on lossless under Settings -> Music -> Audio quality?

    On the top of the Music app on desktop, there should be a wavy icon next to the song title. Tap that for bitrate and sample rate.

    Why? Because higher number = better sound?

    Time in 24/96. Which is obviously sufficient.

    Dogs in 24/192. Which is a waste of disk space.

    Entirely agree. Picked up a pair of AirPods Max yesterday on account of the sheer volume of Atmos/Spatial Audio music I'm listening to - one of the first tracks played was Comfy from Delicate, and was not disappointed!

    Atmos is a different mix so this is going to be personal preference, and a matter of how well the Atmos mix was done.

    I may have missed it but with regard to the PF albums has it been established which of these high resolution download files are not the original mix. My own request would be for mono Piper and Saucerful along with the mono singles from the 60s.

    Momentary Lapse… is the 2019 remix. The rest appear to be the mixes as remastered in 2011. Piper and Saucerful are the stereo mixes.

    They are aware of the issues and have taken action :) Below their reply to me:

    "This is the way Warner has releases the album. Many customers are unsatisfied regards this issue.
    We received new files on Friday evening but need to see what Warner re-delivered. Again the whole delivery is a mess - we’ll need time again to understand the difference of the delivery.
    Once we have uploaded you files, you can trigger a new download. We let you know, once this is ready."

    Thanks. I bought the MQA of WYWH from them but I’m not sure if it is one of the albums affected by errors or not?

    HighResAudio are good are getting stuff sorted. I remember with the David Bowie Heroes debacle a few years ago they contacted me as soon as they had the fixed file before the Bowie camp made an official announcement
