Good to know these things, right now 7digital seems the logical alternative.

I have only used accoustics sounds super high res. downloaded about 10 albums from dsd 64 to 24-96 so far so good. The bulk of my collection is apple lossless converted to flac through my roon server. Its just cheap and available and may sound slightly sharper but renders well in my system.
The abudance, availability, reliability and cost of high res will continue to be an obsticle even with sound quality advantages.
The biggest problem with hi-res version of older music (pop/rock) is knowing if they have been compressed or not. I'm not paying that amount of money for a recording that's not enjoyable because it's too compressed. This is not HDTracks fault, but that of the record company.
