P.S. have occasionally seen my old 2008 versions floating around in netsville - how people can still call a transfer 'high res' when it's been turned into an MP3 and is the 16-bit version is beyond me.

ONLY the 24/96 files are high-res audio folks - 16/44.1 is bog-standard CD audio too, and MP3 below that, of course.

If listening to high-res I recommend reading up about it first to ensure your PC or Mac is setup properly (it can get complicated!). For Mac I recommend either Audirvana Free, or the 'bitperfect' iTunes add-on from iTunes store. For PC Foobar2000 setup properly for high-res (tons of guides out there).

You can also Google for guides on how to burn high-res audio files onto a DVD so you can play the 24/96 files on a standard dvd player! i.e.:

You will NOT hear the benefits of high-res on simple computer speakers, or average quality built-in soundcards. You need proper, decent Hi-Fi seperates. Failing that just download the 16-bit versions.
