Here is the breakdown on the discs I referred to (as to whether they contain dedicated hi-rez 2.0 tracks):Dvorak Symphonies 3 and 7 (Macal/CPO, Exton): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Dvorak Symphonies 5 and 9 (Macal/CPO, Exton): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Dvorak Symphony No. 9 (Neumann/CPO, Denon): 2.0 ONLY (no multichannel); also note that while the bit rate is 24, the sample rate is only CD-quality (44.1)
Wagner “Die Walküre” (Mehta/Bavarian, Farao): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Bach “St. Matthew Passion) (Guttenberg, et al., Farao): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Beethoven Symphonies (Abbado, Berlin Phil, DG): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Beethoven Symphonies 5 and 7 (Kleiber/VPO, DG): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Beethoven/Respighi (Macal/New Jersey, AIX): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available; the multi-channel and two-channel hi-rez programs are on opposite sides of the disc (lots of bonus material on this disc!)
Mahler Symphony No. 2 (Chailly/Concertgebouw): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Mahler Symphony No. 8 (Chailly/Concertgebouw): Dedicated 2.0 hi-rez tracks available
Regarding the Warner (Teldec) releases (Barenboim Beethoven Symphonies, Harnoncourt New World Symphony, Aimard Messiaen Vingt Regards): info on the cases seems to indicate that “advanced resolution stereo (96 kHz / 24 bit)” is available, but I cannot navigate to these 2.0 sections!
Hope this helps!
