HD tracks

[Mikeeo]

Thanks!

Well it seem to be a problem with Qobuz as well as I am in Sweden however my newfound ip 'scrambler' works a treat there as well. Considering the vastly superior catalogue I will for sure first stop there too.
I use a program called TunnelBear which gives you the possibility to chose from which country you're stationed. Though the program have limited bandwidth but it is enough to pick and pay your titles and then switch off for faster download. For me who is a zero knowledge computer guy this is magic .

By the way, are there members here that download in WAV format? I started doing that but it takes such memo space I had to switch to FLAC, which by the way is much easier to handle.

Way to go Mike. one of the perks you get from being an audiophile is improving IT abilities

For me, armed with Ironsocket (VPN provider), Paypal (Payment service), USUnlocked (Virtual credit card service) and ShopnShip (PO Box address provider) I can virtually be anywhere in the world I simply transform into a stationary traveller which by the way reminds me of the excellent instrumental track "Stationary Traveller" by Camel

Hi,

You're way beyond in this area however I absorb every little info, like above, that make audio life easier.

Cheers/Mike

It's a shame that HD Tracks' prices outside the US are so high. If they set their prices at a fair level then people wouldn't have to try to circumvent their security systems.

Qobuz undercut them on price on almost everything and I've heard no complaints about the quality of Qobuz's downloads whereas I've heard a lot of complaints about HD Tracks.

Philip,

I just run a comparison between my ripped WAV 44/16 bit version of Norah Jones/Come away with me and the recently purchased dito from HD tracks FLAC 192/24. And the difference is big and in favor of the 16 bit WAV. The hi res sounds muddled, undynamic and tired. What is going on here? Hi res is streamed through usb input on my unitiserve and the 16 bit rip is on its hard disc.

Someone else here with this experience?
