There are a growing number of websites that allow you to download files at good quality. Firstly, Linn produce a growing number of fabulous recordings (www.linnrecords.com) at a variety of qualities, including Studio Masters. Some are even available in 24-bit, 192kHz – the perfect choice for really giving the Overture 192 Audio Interface content it deserves. www.HDTracks.com also has a wide range of very well recorded albums largely by Chesky Records, and many 24-bit, 96kHz FLAC format. Wonderful clarity from a master of recording. If you are restricted to downloading from iTunes or other download sites, then we recommend checking the format and bit rate before building up your expectations. 16-bit, 44.1kHz files will probably sound “OK”, as long as they have been well encoded to MP3 at a higher bit rate such as 320kbps. Try them and see for yourself.
