RE: Hi Rez Nirvana..Nevermind 2011 Remaster

Errr... I just got a chance to listen to it tonight.

Please have a listen again and compare if you can to the MFSL edition from 1996; then come back and say what you think.

Within the 1st 20 seconds it's obvious that the new version has clipped samples (especially the percussion), Cobain's voice is distorted, and dynamics are shot in comparison to the 1996 CD. Measured DR of 7.

I stand by my previous assertion that this is UNACCEPTABLE sound if it were a CD and HDTracks should be ashamed to release this as 24/96.
