Quotes like these
"We don't like up-sampling; we don't allow it."
"We take native 96/24 or 88/24 and test it."
"In the case of a digital recording, we want the digital master. In the case of an analog recording, we specify how it should be transferred."
I can read these a couple of different ways. The hopeful me interprets these statements as meaning high res material on HD Tracks is truly high res. The jaundiced me looks at the FFT plots from some of the material downloaded from HD Tracks (as posted on sites like computeraudiophile) and wonders.
