HDtracks is a music download store founded by David and Norman Chesky of Chesky Records, the label that has produced some of the finest analog audiophile recordings of the last 25 years. Now, the brothers aim to bring the same integrity and fidelity to digital music. Compared to other websites, HDtracks offers dramatically higher quality music downloads. Their vast and growing selection, culled from some of the most interesting independent record labels around the world, is available as 320 kbps MP3, CD-quality (44.1kHz/16 bit), and/or full, high-resolution DVD-Audio quality (96kHz/24 bit) downloads. Not only that, HDtracks downloads include full liner notes and art work in a PDF format. The music is also DRM-free, so you can play your music anywhere you want.

We are now living in the age of computer audio playback. More and more high-end audio companies are offering USB digital-to-analog converters, so you can now play computer files over your home audio system. By moving away from laser-based optical playback systems, you eliminate most of the digital artifacts that have plagued the CD since its inception. An HDtracks file played back via a USB digital converter will produce a deeper and wider soundstage than a CD of the same music. Tonality will improve, and you will hear deeper, “blacker” background silences between the notes. Digital audio has never sounded this good before.

*44.1/16 if you do not have a 96/24 digital-to-analog converter
