looking to snag a few songs off of here to try out with my new cans, are the remasters on here any good? i wanna get some bowie, because the "best of bowie" cd i bought last year sounds like a cheap remaster. thanks in advance.

    Led Zeppelin II was great.
    I always liked Black Sabbath Planet Caravan thru headphones. (album only)
    I guess I would look for stuff that has been remastered for
    the hi-res market...
    I've been thinking of putting together a list of great headphone tunes.

    the chili peppers albums on there are all listed as being available in audiophile 96/34 or 192/24, that seems to imply that they have been, or am i mistaken? some of the bowie albums are listed as remasters, although when i view each album individually, most tracks say 2012 remaster, 2015 remaster, etc. i didnt see if they said audiophile or not, i'll check.

    HDTracks.com is an EXCELLENT site for getting some great hi rez downloads. It's run by the Chesky brothers of Chesky Records fame. You can also try superhirez.com which is run by Chad Kassem's Acoustics Sounds. I've gotten some great music off of both sites. HDTracks FINALLY has DSD downloads, although nowhere near as many as superhirez,because they had a huge head start.

    HDtracks is fine, and Chesky recordings are amazing, but be careful on older "hi-rez" versions. Some are remasters and some are only upsampled, so do your homework. I would trust any Chesky label recording though, and even their 44.1/16 recordings are superior.
