I think that I understand how HDTracks works. Their customer base purchases on the assumption that they are getting better than normal resolution. Their customer base does not understand what resolution means for sound, but they believe that sound is better with better numbers. Then comes the big bad critic and not by LISTENING, rather by looking at a spectral analysis determines that HD is not HD.

Two things happen: The bubble is burst for the audiophile that didn't HEAR that his HD was only resampled MP3 and the critic does not even put the situation into musical context, rather rejoices in having found something that the "competition" did not.

The rest is predictable. Many/most continue to buy because HD is part of the name. This is primarly due to the very meaning of HD - Hearing Deteriorated.........
