commercially avaliable Hi resolution music
#884407 - 30/12/10 01:21 AM

Anybody know where you can buy music in High Res format?

I've heard that Blu-ray has higher than CD sample rate (or was it bit rate?) but I've never gone down that way before. I'm just curious that these days we have the technology to record and process music in atleast 24 bit depth (possibly higher but not sure) and at 192KHz sample rates. Although I know why they do record at these resolutions so that you get better sound when its dithered down to CD 16/44.1 but it would be great to be able to listen to a lot of music, particularly classical music, at these higher rates.

Just wandering if you guys knew of anything.
Someone mentioned SACD to me but as far as I'm aware that's just for 5.1 surround sound isn't it?

A lot of times artists release high definition versions of their albums on their own sites. One example is the soundtrack for The Social Network; you can buy it from its own, dedicated site on Blu-Ray audio, and in various downloadable (including lossless) formats.

But there are plenty more sources, these are just a few examples.

Honestly, I have found these with barely a few seconds worth of search engine work.

Here are some more, relevant links:

Hi mate, thanks for the reply.

Haha, yea I never googled it for some odd reason. Though Admittedly I have NEVER bought music online before so it's not my go to place for it but some of those sites look good.

Thanks for the heads up!
