It appears to be kind of an aloof thing. The format they sell is 24/96. Something comes along that just hasn't been made available in HD and they convert it to 24/96 to satisfy the format. Probably more of a disconnected screw up than purely malicious. Being that they never include any providence with technical info unless it was written as part of the promo for a release, there's no way to know until you buy the thing.You know, it's silly to be concerned with CD quality on one hand. It is a very high fidelity format and certainly magnitudes better than some audience recorded bootleg that makes you say "What the hell is that noise?!". But it's 2016 and I'm interested in the deluxe version with the best seats for the audio. I happen to have no interest or budget to collect every other format and thus want to save for the full quality audio. Trying to avoid buying this stuff twice more (on top of previous vinyl purchases in the past). (Also just spent my budget on Crimson '80s box and Tales too!
