Our ultimate goal is to ensure that music enthusiasts can more easily identify their highest quality preferences, and this is a key step in that process. We thank those that have adopted the Hi-Res MUSIC logo, and encourage others in this space to follow suit, in order to help consumers enjoy the highest-quality digital recordings possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The list of retailers immediately adopting the new branding for high resolution includes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acousticsounds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Acoustic Sounds<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/store.acousticsounds.com\/superhirez\" target=\"_blank\">Super HiRez<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bluecoastmusic.com\/\">Blue Coast Music<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.classicsonlinehd.com\/\">ClassicsOnline HD*LL<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.isomike.com\/\">IsoMike Recordings<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prostudiomasters.com\/\">ProStudioMasters<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hdtracks.co.uk\/\">HDtracks <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponomusic.com\/\">PonoMusic<\/a>.
