RE: Yes, pretty incredible

"I'm a bit disappointed they were not more gutsy with the release. To advance this technology, they could have announced the Beatles remasters exclusively on USB and hirez optical formats. The Beatles was the last chance for hirez to go mainstream, and they did not capitalize..."

This would make no sense. The Beatles re-masters are just that: Remasters of an incredibly important catalog that was carelessly transferred flat to digital in the 80s, like so many others. They are meant to sound better and do. They are not meant to promote high resolution formats. You have grossly overestimated importance of high-rez. A fairly small sub-segment of audiophiles cares deeply about hi-rez formats. They represent a vanishingly small sub-segment of the market for music. The amount of high-rez available is proportionate, I suspect.
