The clips sound very clean and lush. If it was a 5.1 remix Id be really jumping up and down.

Get 10% of Hejira when you use this discount code: HDBLUE10. I didn't buy "Hejira" last night but I did get a 96/24 edition of "Graceland" and it's worth the money. It's funny- high rez digital is cheaper than premium quality vinyl. I got 15% of "Graceland" with this discount code: HDALLNEW15. Jim Dave B said, Hmmm, that IS enticing.

From: Jack Merkel This must have just been released because I just bought MOA from them three days ago, and there was no Hejira offered at the time. I know what I'm doing tonight!

I *knew* there was a reason I kept my turntable, tube amp, and JBL studio monitors in working condition. Thanks for the heads-up!

It should be said however that only some of the higher quality will be heard by most people. The transfer of the analog master tape to 96kHz/24 bit is definitely going to sound better (smoother, more open, better soundstage, more depth of field) BUT the playback equipment that many listeners have will not allow those benefits to be heard. If you have D to A converters in your playback system that only go to 48khz then fully half of that resolution cant be reproduced, and the longer word length of 24 bits over 16 bits only makes a difference in the softest parts of the music like fadeouts and reverb tails. So unless you have an audio interface attached to your computer that has 96 or 192kHz converters and fine studio monitors you wont hear the resolution you paid for. If you use an iPod or listen to music in the car you will hear almost none of the improvements, Im afraid. Same thing for earbuds, cheap headphones and laptop speakers. The video equivalent is Blu-Ray; you only see the resolution of the medium when you have a Blu-Ray player.
