"Greatest Hits" and "Living with war, in the beginning" are 2 of the 3 CD/DVD I have of Neil Young, but according to his discography: http://www.neilyoung.com/archives/discography/nyd_start1.html those might in fact be the only 2 with 96/24 audio. All his recent releases have a CD and a "deluxe" CD/DVD version, but only with those two does it mention high-resultion audio tracks there. >> Especially if you, like me, like very direct recordings, you're going to >> love the sound-quality even of the CD (as most of his releases, a HDCD). > > Can you rip and play back 20-bit HDCD audio?
