As of 3 June 2009, most Classical Shop lossless downloads were not 24/96 (even those recorded at 24/96 or higher)...

Have things improved since June 2009?
I have no experience with that business, but 24/96 downloads are wonderful! My last store bought hires download was Band On The Run. Amazing sound.

Folks, bad experience with Chandos and their sister firm, TheClasssicalShop.net. I did purchase the Walton title last night, but as I found only AFTER I had paid (and prompted to the download page), the tracks were only 16/44.1 FLAC.
I sent Chandos/TheClasssicalShop this message:

On the product page for the album I ordered (CHAN 8870W) ...
http://www.chandos.net/details06.asp?CNumber=CHAN%208870
... the Bit Rate is stated to be 24/96.
On this assumption alone, I made an online purchase. Yet AFTER I MADE THE PURCHASE, and PROCEEDED to the DOWNLOAD PAGE, I found the files are NOT in fact avail. in 24/96!!! If you cannot offer this album in 24/96, then please refund my purchase price.
