I've written to HD-Tracks about the compressed files they sell as "more dynamic" and have so far got no answer. I mean, what's the point of 24/192-files if the dynamics are 5 dB lower than the original CD? Now, dynamics isn't everything, the 24/192-files can be good in other respects but it is dishonest to marketing the 24/192-files as "dynmamically better" when they in fact often are worse. A nice tool to look at the files is btw the MasVis (http://www.lts.a.se/lts/manual) which is free to download (http://www.lts.a.se/lts/masvis). The sad thing is that the program just can handle 16/44 wav so the files you like to analyze has to be converted.
