Hopefully Bruce B can answer:
What is the possibility that HD Tracks could "remaster" albums that they sell? At least in terms of avoiding the nearly omnipresent over-compression in today's recordings/masterings? Although I don't care for and didn't buy Macca's "Band On The Run", it was very cool that a (relatively) uncompressed mastering could be purchased in lieu of the commercial mastering.
I've been extremely discouraged by the pop/rock and even jazz offerings from HD tracks, sometimes because they aren't true 24/96 transfers, but even when they are, they retain the commercial, over-compressed mastering.
