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.

I don't have another version handy to compare, but suffice to say that in my system, the 192/24 files are outstanding. I actually don't own an LP of that release, but have many other Bill Evans LPs and I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed in this release. I can compare my redbook version if it is important to you, but this doesn't sound anything like a redbook file, which is why I haven't compared. I'm using the PWD/bridge.
