And while we can’t directly hear the benefits of “Mastered for iTunes” releases under all the compression, at least Apple’s requirement to deliver uncompressed tracks in 24-bit/96 kHz is promoting higher fidelity sessions (and hopefully the distribution of more advanced bit-rate masters at a later date, whether via download or Blu-ray). In early September 2013 the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) even threw its support behind the promotion of high-resolution audio (HRA) hardware, which it expects to be a trend at retail in 2014.
