More than once with great help from kind Beoworld members.</p> <p>At last I&#39;m happy with my setup and it is time to enjoy the absolut best sounding digital music I can feed thru that digital in. But I must say that not all collections of recorded 0&#39;s and 1&#39;s sound nice. Not even thru BL5s!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think maybe speakers in this class exhibits the shortfalls of mediocre recordings even more. So now I find myself spending alot of time investigating what albums to buy and what not to. OK, it is a hobby and it&#39;s fun spending time on, but I decided to do something anyway.</p> <p>So to help myself and hopefully others too, I have put together a meta-search engine on <a title="hiresreview.com" href="http://www.hiresreview.com">http://hiresreview.com</a> with built-in tools to review and manage a music collection. For now the search comprises 2500 albums from hdtracks.com,linn.com and qobuz.com &nbsp;and I plan to add more sources in the coming weeks.</p> <p>I would really appreciate your comments and ideas on this initiative.I hope it will be really usefull if information on high resolution music are assembled in a very structured database like this. As reviews, links to resources, comments and so on start to build up I hope that quality recordings quickly will stand out from the rest.</p> <p>I think more and more of you have started to play high resolution downloads on your beo gear, so I&#39;m very interested in hearing about your experiences.</p> <p>Thank you,&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Kim</p> </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
