That's just sad. As usual, without decent quality control the whole hi-res thing is a fail especially when they let stuff like this happen with watermarking... Upsampled audio, questionable provenance, dynamic compressed mastering, now watermarking. All when it's questionable even if well done hi-res has audible benefits.
Do we have a sense of how prevalent the watermarking is in terms of how many percent of albums are affected? If high, I'd certainly be avoiding certain labels that partake in this nonsense. It'd be interesting if there's a database of these albums out there...
