Thanks!

There is a reason they call it the "Audiophile" version and charge more for it.

Technically speaking no. The audiophile has the original .wav files. All other packages are compressed wma files. Even if you decompress them they are still a lesser sound quality.
With that said unless you are a real pro with very good ears you may not be able to tell the difference. If you are playing the tracks live in a band or solo situation you defiantly will not.
This info is from those that do own the Audiophile version.

A really contentious topic. It's smart they offer this , because there will always be those who want it (and will ask for it ...loudly )

You gotta love Audiophiles. They will pay $$$$ for wire, and argue endlessly over it.

A fun hobby nevertheless.

Contact PGMusic frankie, if you are serious. They would likely let you upgrade for the difference in price

Too bad they don't have the Audiophile pack on sale right now, as I would have ordered that package. Any idea on why only that package was excluded from the sale?

Hi Rich,

Ring PG Music (or email or use Live Help) and ask. The audiophile version was on sale a week ago. I have just had a look at the product page and, from what I can remember, the listed prices seem to be the sale prices. It's interesting that the original price is no longer given.

As I said, why not ask.

All the best,
Noel
