The Eagles - The Studio Albums 1972-1979, a 6 album collection on HD Tracks in 192/24.

Downloaded this today, and so far, it sounds fantastic. I am very happy with this purchase, even songs I would not normally listen to sound great. So far, I am hearing a wide dynamic range, no background noise, clear treble, accurate vocals, and a solid bass. And this is with a head cold. :)

    Yeah the wife was wanting some eagles on her phone the other day so since Amazon gives you free prime mp3s I got her Desparado with the download, On The Border, and When Hell Freezes Over no free downloads but these are all the remastered CDs, and they are remastered very well, they sound fantastic.

    When Hell Freezes Over has exceptional sound quality. I can't speak to the others as I have not heard them.

    I'd say when Hell Freezes Over is exceptional sounds fantastic on every rig you play it in, If I put in the car it might end up staying in rotation awhile. You are absolutely correct.

    I have the vinyl box set and it sounds excellent, but so does all my Eagle Redbook CD's. I'm always impress with the stuff.
