I purchased the anniversary release of Soundgarden's Superunknown album. This release included a hi-res version of the album on Blu-ray Pure Audio. I opened a few songs in Audacity to view the waveform. I was disappointed to find out that this release has fallen victim to the loudness war. I compared some of the tracks to an older "A-Sides" album by Soundgarden. This is basically a "greatest hits" CD.
I suppose the point of this post is that, despite being marketed as an audiophile product, the Blu-ray Pure Audio, despite any promise it may have, is still suspect, in my opinion.
You can see the results for yourself:
