Well, very few in fact! I have two Ring cycles in 24/96, both downloaded from sources on the internet. They have been taken from LP using high-end equipment and sound pretty fabulous. I have both on commercial CD’s and both sound like crap by comparison, even played with a high-end CD player.
They’re the Solti and Böhm recordings and the Böhm in particular is a revelation.
I’d love to hear the Japanese SACD version of the Solti, I must say!!! By all accounts it is amazing.
Hi-res Classical, Opera, Jazz etc

Interesting. I heard the Furtwangler is pretty good too. I will try to get them.
I have quite a few 24/96 LP recordings myself (mainly for jazz) and they are very good.

Quite a lot actually.
I rip all my SACDs to 176.4/24 wav files.
I have got 'your' Solti Ring cycle from the Japanese Esoteric label.
The remasters by this label are exceptionally good, all of them.
The Ring is also very good, maybe only beaten by a good analogue rip?

there's a bigger list here:
http://www.audiostre........load-sites
Not sure I always enjoy remastered Cds- even to a higher bitrate though. Pristine seems to have the largest collection - including Furtwangler's wartime Beethovens and 'Ring' at Scala which they will send to you in its entirety on a hard disk!
