You really haven't understood anything about what Phil, & I, & everyone else is saying, have you?
Those two tracks you posted - they clearly sound different. FWIW, I also prefer the hi-res version. However, they are different masterings. As Phil has said, if you create a redbook version by down-sampling from the hi-res version then the two are indistinguishable. This has *nothing* to do with hires formats sounding better - just better mastering. R. -- "Feed that ego and you starve the soul" - Colonel J.D.
