What is your favorite Hi-Res Audio sites? I have used HD Track's, which I quite like, and wanted to know what other are out there that fellow Headfier's are using.
Thanks,

You might want to look into whether or not files being "hi res" make them sound any better before spending money and HD space 
This is quite true, as some of the material I have listened to (Led Zeppelin, and some other classic rock) has more detail, but that does not mean it sound better. This is one of the reasons that I like HD Tracks, when you preview a song, that is how it will sound once you download it.

I mainly use HD Tracks, but sometimes I like to check out Linn Records from time to time as well. They have some fantastic stuff.

Thanks for the link of all the sites.
Note that whenever a hi-res download is the same master as the CD version, it sounds the same, and there's usually no way to know beforehand which master is being sold.
For technical background on why 16-bit / 44.1 kHz is the highest resolution human ears can benefit from, read this article.
