So, I have pretty much downloaded all type of content and never actually saw something of this quality, even on pirated sites, they claim huge numbers, but the quality is average only, especially on a big T.V. What do you think, help your fellow pirate.

I think only Rick Rubin can ever reach 1300kbps in a FLAC from CD; listen to System of a Down self-titled album. It barely compresses!

Well-mastered classical and 1980s albums can average ~700kbps. IIRC, using default FLAC compression level 5.
