Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby - New on HDtracks

Has anyone tried the new hi-rez verson of Waltz for Debby on HDTracks - at either 24/96 or 24/192. I am currently using the remastered Complete Village Vanguard Records 1961 CD that was released in 2005 for my digital versions of Waltz for Debby and Sunday at the Village Vanguard. Has anyone compared that CD version to the new hi-rez version? The remastered Complete Village Vanguard versions are pretty special. The question is whether the original recording has the resolution to warrant the hi-rez versions and how much the new versions improve on the already high quality of the remastered set. Anyone done the comparison yet? Any comparison to vinyl releases would also be of interest. I'll probably just download the hi-rez versions anyway - just looking for feedback for anyone who already has the hi-rez versions.

Emailists - Thanks. Sounds like it is worth giving it a try.

Schipo - seeking out higher quality versions of old favorites and seeking out new artists are not mutually exclusive. Well done high rez can be much better than existing CDs. It can be a lot more than just another remaster. A similar situation exists for Blu Ray versus DVD. I will not replace all my DVDs, but I will for my favorite movies tht I am likely to watch a lot. If you simply dismiss the new high rez tracks, I think you will be missing out. But that is your choice.
